BLM: 2 bulls euthanized during Cliven Bundy cattle roundup

[LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL] The only known shots fired in the grazing feud between Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management came from federal agents or contractors who euthanized at least two bulls, Bundy's son-in-law said Thursday.

That's not counting other cattle that died of exhaustion and had to be put down, Bundy's son-in-law Josh Logue said.

"There's more dead that are dead through shot or ... dehydration from running in the desert," Logue said.

A BLM spokesman confirmed Thursday that two bulls had been killed during the agency's weeklong roundup that ended Saturday with an armed standoff between supporters of rancher Cliven Bundy and federal agents.

The two bulls posed "a safety hazard," said BLM spokesman Craig Leff, who didn't elaborate on the circumstances.
Mr.Leff and his BLM cohorts are the only "safety hazard" as far as I am concerned.

#1 Two bulls? I guess they couldn't find any dogs to shoot. I mean, that's the usual, isn't it?

#2 Don't you love how the media twists words and tries to change the meaning of words to try to make terror a pleasant thing.

Euthanasia refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. Wikipedia

These people did not know how to handle a 2000 pound bull. You never get into the same pen as a 2000 pound bull. That said, they can easily be controlled by a true cowboy. The bulls were protecting he herd. And the puny little progressive federal know nothings did what they only know to do, maim, kill, destroy. Nothing euthanized about it.

#4 Now, now. I'm sure all the agents watched reruns of Bonanza.

What other training do they need to match an gun-and-bible-clinging ignorant cowboy?

Good luck with that. PETA shelters are known for systematically 'euthanizing' animals rather than letting them be adopted. Their Norfolk area people got busted for depositing the carcasses in various dumpsters around the city some years back.

#7 Peta came out with a comment that decried the euthanizing but also blasted the ranchers for breeding beef cattle. I don't think people eat the bulls but I could be wrong. Either way they can't just say lefties killing animals is bad because they are political hypocrites.

#8 Bulls can be eaten but they are primarily for breeding. They may have thought the BLM were more heifers in the heard. That would be the only acceptable reason for self defense.
