This is not 10,000 years ago. The world is A LOT different now.
If they roam deep enough into the forest, the screams wont be much of an issue. The crow flocks and dogs in my neighborhood are way much louder. because they tend to be right in my neighborhood. My turkeys yelp a lot but they do it in the forest so its not a big issue.
Nope, still similar. Millions free range their cats, birds, and whatnot. Some neighborhoods I know near the fields even have free ranging dogs.
That doesn’t mean it’s right.
Yes, with permits. Ranchers who graze cattle in national forests or other public lands obtain permits for the privilege. They pay for these permits. The money goes to maintain these forests /public lands. They pay the salaries of rangers who watch for fires, enforce regulations against dumping trash, maintain access roads, search for people who get lost or injured hiking or hunting on the trails, etc.
This argument doesn't hold water. You can't enjoy their beautiful spotted feathers if they're in the forest so far away you can't see or hear them. Cage them on your own property until they are old enough to harvest their feathers, that's more believable.
This thread for sure doesn't need me. But I hope that when you find out who owns the land, you post it. There is no chance that the land is not owned (city, county, etc.) It'll get pretty interesting when you have a conversation with the owner of the land.which one?
