The US Forest Service is planning an aerial shooting of feral cows in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico.
The US Forest Service will move forward with killing feral cattle in New Mexico's Gila National Forest, officials say.
The feral cattle have created problems in the Gila National Forest since the 1970s, when a rancher abandoned cattle on the Redstone Allotment within the Gila Wilderness, according to a memo from the Forest Service. The memo defined feral cattle as cattle that don't have brands, ear tags, or other signs of ownership.
According to the service, the problem posed by the untamed cattle is twofold. First, the cattle are aggressive towards humans. In the memo, the service said hikers in the Gila Wilderness have been charged by feral bulls.
