needed for sheep and other animals,
and hunters are employed to shoot
them. In some of the western states
they have also become nuisance,
and in Nevada a law was passed in
1897 permitting wild horses to be
shot. Recent reports from Washing
ton indicate that cayuses are consid-
cred of so little value that they are
killed and used for bait in poisoning
wolves and coyotes.
Pigs have run wild in some. of the
southern states and also on certain
islands. where. as on the Galapagos,
they were originally introduced to
furnish food for crews of vessels in
need of fresh meat. According to DIR.
Finsch. they were introduced into
New Zealand by Capt. Cook about
1770, and, soon becoming wild, in
creased to a remarkable degree.
century later wild pigs were so album
dant in the flax thickets of the prov
ince of Taranaki. on the North island,
that hunter could shoot so in
single day. DIR. Finsch also cites n
case mentioned by Hochstetter in
which $4,000 wild pigs were said to
have been killed by three hunters in
less than two years.
Sheep and goats when numerous
are likely to cause widespread injury
particularly in forested regions. An
instructive example of the damage
done by goats is that on st. Helena,
described by Wallace. st. Helena is
a mountainous island scarcely SO
square miles in extent. and its high
est SUBMITS reach an elevation of
2,7OO feet. At the time of its discov-
cry, about the beginning of the six
teenth century, it is said to have been
covered by dense forest; to-day it
is described as comparatively bar
rem rocky desert. This change has
been largely brought about by goats
first introduced by the Portuguese
in 1913, and which multiplied so fast
that in IS years they existed by thou
sands Browsing on the young trees
and shrubs, they rapidly brought
about the destruction of the vegeta-
ton which protected the steep slopes.
With the disappearance of the under
growth began inc Washing VI inc SUI
by tropical rains and the destruction
of the forests. In 1909 the governor
reported that the timber was rapidly
disappearing and that the goats
should be destroyed if the forests
we're to be preserved. This advice
was not needed, and only century
later, in 1910, another governor re-
ported the total destruction of the
forests by the goats. and in conse-
quence an expense of $4,000 in one
year for the importation of fuel for
governments use.
