"The primary argument though, is that the BHS are ATTRACTED to domestic sheep and goats, which increases the risk."
Yes, this is an argument posed by some. According to NApgA's attorney, THAT statement is NOT based on any science or any studies, and is frankly, dishonest and in-accurate. It is merely someone's biased opinion. If you asked Larry Robinson about his interaction with BHS last summer, he'll tell you that the BHS, once they spotted Larry and his packgoats, they took off like a scalded cat, and had NO interest in Larry or his herd.
This is also one of the reasons why we suggest in our Best Management Practices putting bells on the collars of our goats.
