Fw: [at-l] Rangers round up longhorn in park

[StewartHolt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Stewart Holt)]

There was a herd of about 30 longhorns which grazed on Hump
Mountain this summer. They are gigantic! Makes a dairy cow look
like a house pet. I stopped about 20 feet short of several of them
on the trail and was wondering what the protocol was for this
situation. I was noticing how their heads were covered in flies and
felt something on my knee and shook my leg. They scattered. Problem
solved.

I saw the follwing story in Friday's Chattanooga Times,and thought
I would pass it along.

Rangers round up longhorn in park

"A monkey,an emu,and even peacocks have been dumped in GSMNP. Now
rangers have rounded up a longhorn cow that has apparently been on
the loose for years. The longhorn was first spotted Monday and was
seen at Low Gap on Tuesday heading for the Appalachian Trail.
Rangers tried to herd the cow into a makeshift corral
Wednesday,then tranquilized it with a dart. Park officials have
placed newspaper ads,but no one has claimed the cow"

still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will
not refuse to do the something that I can do."
