I attended a two year community college that began life as a post WW2 agricultural school.After nearly 4 decades that saw a semi rural and agricultural area become urban, a rather unusual 'problem' came up for the first time in those 4 decades.
A coyote appeared on campus. There were fears hundreds of sheep, dairy,beef cattle,horses and pigs would be decimated.Biology professors were at odds with the ag science department and the maintenance crew noted a sharp drop in the feral cat population.
Two BLM burros were acquired to 'bond' with the sheep and guard against coyotes, a trait promoted by the BLM.
The burros proceeded to kick and kill 9 sheep.
One of the biology professors mentioned to the equestrian instructor burros carried a cronic lung infection that could spread to horses.
The burros went away. A campus police officer shot the lone coyote. The feral cat population exploded.
The ONLY predictable is that the unpredictable will happen.
It can be a TEOTWAWKI novel or a survival manual. When you accept everything as gospel, or a set piece of actions and reaction, Mother Nature will send you a BLM burro.
