Pneumonia in bighorn sheep halts hunting near Yellowstone

[Nanno]

That's so sad. I feel like the most important thing for wildlife biologists to do right now is to concentrate on encouraging reproduction in those herds that appear resistant to pneumonia. I've read that there are a few herds out there that don't have these high losses. It seems to me that if the sheep can't fight this off themselves through stronger genetics, there's not much hope for them no matter what regulations are put in place to limit exposure to domestic animals.
