Feral cows are dangerous to humans and have no natural predators there. God forbid we get a feral cow infestation.

There's actually precedent. Mustangs are a feral invasive species that deplaces local native species but they're protect because they're pretty. Whichever federal agency does monitor the herd and will conduct culls if they're population is getting too large and causing them to get sick.

Fascinatingly horses primarily evolved in North America but moved east while humans moved west, although there's a tribe of Native Americans in Canada who report having a traditional horse species for hundred of years even predating Spanish landing in Mexico. Unfortunately genetic tests if the remaining member of the herd isn't possible to disprove due to cross breading. There's also no example of remaining wild horses in the world, just like there's no wild cows. Part of the issue is domesticated horses getting loose and interbreeding. Honestly it's surprising Wolves have remained, although as a predator I'm sure it's easier to remove wild dogs.

Since I lived in Mongolia when you said there are no wild horses in the world I though of this I see there's a little controversy but it still seems to count.

I've seen a video of 30-50 feral hogs running through someone's yard.

They're occasionally deadly and always destructive.

This headline wasn't nearly as interesting after I reread it and realized it said "cows" and not "clowns."

They also lack the opposable thumbs required to shake up and untwist the cap of a bottle of Faygo.

Lol.

Ok

"Feral ICP Clowns" would be much scarier. No joke, "juggalo zombies", eek

I mean why can't they hand out special hunting tickets so someone could get several hundred pounds of free beef?

If Murkans have a right to arm bears, why not arm cattle, too? Killer cows!

In olden days we had strong men on horses who could capture these escaped felonious creatures. Are there no vaqueros in Nuevo Mexico ahorito?
