Golden eagles have lived together with sheep-raising humans for millennia, without ever being anything else but a completely minor nuisance. The reason is that sheep have always been guarded by shepherds and dogs. The reintroduction of eagles can create problems only where lambs are completely unguarded, in order to save some money over the traditional methods. So the choice between letting eagles live and exterminating them is not between raising sheep and not raising sheep, but between using a traditional level of care for them and a slightly cost-saving modern method, which has eliminated a part of the jobs associated with sheep raising. A solution for the AI-hyped era, where paying human employees is frowned upon, would be to use robot dogs for scaring raptor birds. |
