Reply to comment by CapableConnection141 in Feral cows in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness will be shot from air, US Forest Service says by PM_ME_KITTYNIPPLES

Since the cattle are not killed, there’s no donations to food banks. Nor can food banks here deal with an influx of 50 cattle. There’s no refrigerators for the meat, nor funds to butcher the cattle. Cattle are auctioned (cheaply, since it’s old), and local folks get to distribute stew meat to their friends and families.

The funds from the auction help pay for the cattle rustlers.
