NEW STUDY: PREDATORS HUNT BY LINE OF SIGHT
An article about a recent study in Africa tells of ranchers hanging burlap bags over wire fences, to keep lions away. According to the study, if the predator can't see its prey, it simply goes away.

In the spirit of species conservation, Otero Residents Forum has some suggestions for utilizing this new dynamic in protecting livestock from predators. WE suggest ranchers simply disguise their cattle. In the picture we have cleverly disguised two cows. One as a house and the other as an old pickup truck: (note the dummy in the pickup truck).
FORUM NOTE: This may not be such a good idea after all. On the second night of disguising our cattle as a house and an old pickup truck; a wolf disguised as a motorboat snuck up to one of the cows and bit it.
