I do know that the highway signs being built right now certainly weren't cheap. I'm curious how the presence of large animals triggers a sign, do they put a chip in each large wild freeroaming animal? Do we put a blinky light on each animal? ( lol)
personally ive been around here for a few decades and just saw my first pair of donkeys (burros?) last week out by erwin...

BTW- highway signs exist and are used in other rural states that activate with flashing lights when large livestock are in the immediate area. Seems like that would be a relatively simple and cost effective way to keep everyone safe. (except the morons who ignore them and then it's up to Darwin...)

HATE330- if we just get rid of about half the people and tourists the burros wouldn't be an issue. They WERE here first .

USFS if you see this: The time has come for another purge of our 4-legged weed abatement and trash dispersal specialists. Get a few trailers and play rodeo for 2 weeks. Use the CT D8 maintenance money that’s not being spent.

I used to believe being able to own you home outright was one of those rights of passage. Burning ithe mortage party thing. Did not realize that i would just end up paying bloody rent to the county/state for the rest of my life. This is so just not right.

@benny I think the composit radar is stuck -- it's still saying 8:49a on 10/15
