I used to have superpowers… but a therapist took them away.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

With fur prices low coupled with the costs to repair damages from the release it's no surprise. Unfortunately it'll be chalked up as a win for the antis.

It also shows the extreme economic vulnerability of so much of our way of life. How long before middle America is forced to sell the farm?

And it would not surprise me in the least if there aren't unreported issues with the insurance on that operation.

The left has been weaponizing both banking and insurance for some time now.

That just encourages more of the same by the antis-like paying off a kidnapper.
Sad,nobodys got any balls to fight.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Also depending upon how the ranch identified and logged the identity of the breedng animals there may be a huge loss of the genetic mating program and that along with several other issues may well contribute to the decision they have made.
The type of insurance that a ranch carries could also as stated above be a real factor in their decision as well. Keeping very good records and data would be essential in how to determine losses etc.
