Sorry, I don't just see a magnificent African plains animal, I see what it can do to the already ravaged Chihauahan Desert. The near extinct Desert Pronghorn facing yet another competitor for the meager fodder because some fool thinks it looks cool. <br />Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245456447690864828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-27028755076779075562014-07-23T08:51:19.896-05:002014-07-23T08:51:19.896-05:00I sure hope these beautiful animals are not being ...I sure hope these beautiful animals are not being raised for target practice by "hunters".
