Maybe don't let $175,000 worth of product out of your sight?
Meanwhile, humans sleep just like the rest of the mammals.
Even with modern tech, have you ever tried keeping steady eyes on 50+ acres of land?
Didn't think so.
Lol the cattle were taken at night by people who decided staying up would be worth $175,000. I'd be hiring some people to guard the cattle overnight. It obviously wasn't hard for the thieves to take so I don't see how it's hard to protect.
Theyβre individuals not products.
I'm kind of against putting tracking chips in anything I might eat
Unless they're cheese flavored chips..
Hey, don't go giving Big Brother any good ideas now (especially ones that would work on me)
It's not like you're going to eat all portions of the cow. Require that any chips be parked in the ear or something, where they won't become a burger additive.
Mmm hot dogs. Pink ooze mmm.
Then the thieves are just going to cut off all the cows' ears!
In which case, earless cows can just be presumed stolen wherever found, and confiscated. (Yeah, I know: "What if someone has a legit earless cow?" Then it should have a legit record at the vet's office explaining why it doesn't have an ear. And more than one or two of those on a given farm is pretty damned suspicious, barring an infestation of Martian Cow-Ear-Eating Bugs.)
Or we could just tattoo them on something that's not likely to get cut off without killing the cow. (They used to brand them for just this purpose, but that's cruel.)
At that point why not just embed the gps tags in the ear tags that we already put on cows? Or why can't we just spray paint their butts like sheep? (Which I'm saying as a person that really knows nothing about this but if it works for the sheep...)
I'm against eating things that have the capacity to love me.
