After all these Musk Oxen showed-up dead, Why is No-One going to jail? These Musk Oxen died because of a mineral deficiency; And just about any 12 Year old Missouri Farm-Boy could tell you that, “Animals that are grazing animals” when fenced-in, NEEDS a MINERAL-BLOCK to lick on, otherwise the Animals will die! And these are Support to be Educated people in the College Teaching these things. IF someone would have let their Sled-dogs die for lack of food (Minerals are part of the food chain) they would end-up paying a large fine and “Jail-time.
