There is a water trough for the dairy cows, but sometimes the Pacific Black Ducks take advantage of the trough! I always approach the bridge slowly to see what bird species are below and around the area. There is a family of feral foxes that I often encounter near Bennison Creek. Pacific Black Ducks. White-eared Honeyeater.

It is also true that condors will spot cows and other livestock giving birth and guard the animal to be there and take advantage of the placenta and other leftovers. The species is being re-introduced in Colombia and Ecuador where the condors are either locally extinct or persist in very low numbers.

Common sense tells us not to put the foxes in charge of the henhouse, but politicians repeatedly deny common sense in favor of the needs of special-interest groups. What we do to animals shows how we feel about other species. So why would they not insist that the cow that became their steak was treated humanely?
