If left alone the three species will propagate. Hardly any rancher will want to raise an animal that he cannot make a profit off of. I have seen first hand what all this has done to the animals over the passed few years. With goverment regulations being forced on the ranchers they have reduced the numbers by hunting them or selling them off at an alarming rate.
Personally my feed bill runs $30,000 a month. It would devistate my business if these three species were added to the list.
If I am allowed to raise these animals without outside interference I will continue to help the species propagate. If not, I have no interest in raising them anymore.
Thanks,
Robert
