[at-l] Rangers round up longhorn in park

[thornel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (W F Thorneloe)]

Something is really bizarre with this news report. Longhorns are pedigreed
and catalogued almost as much as thoroughbreds. That thing has to be
branded or has a chip to identify it. They ain't cheap. Some folks do keep
them as large pets, I even have a friend with a couple. I understand they
don't make such good eating.

Why would anyone dump a cow in the Smokies?
