Re: [RC] Cattlle in the dry? west area - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: <heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> But WOLVES WERE NEVER AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE LANDSCAPE!! They are NOT natural here--they were foisted on us by the Federal government! ,,,,,,,,,,,, The wolves have been ARTIFICIALLY introduced into a system that normally supports many ungulates (elk, deer, bighorn sheep, antelope--AND domestic ones such as cattle) so there is a seemingly limitless food supply. *Not meaning to be argumentative.......and I am sure these Canadian Wolves are a different thing entirely but........weren't some of the plains states that were home to those ungulates (elk, deer, bighorn sheep, antelope and buffalo), once also home to the now-extinct Buffalo Wolf? Karen ============================================================ We are talking about all the tools we can use to keep our horses safe and alive at the rides. Training/conditioning is one of the best tools available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes. ~ Lisa Salas - The Odd Farm ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
