摘要

At the Big Velvet Elk Ranch near Darby, Montana, you are confronted by a cryptic sign: "Do not ask about free elk. We have 762 names on our list. Celebrate dishonesty in Montana." The ranch's owner, Len Wallace, invited people to come and kill his 800-strong herd of domestic elk for free―partly in disgust at a law forbidding him from charging hunters to do so. Things are perhaps even stranger in Colorado, which now has a small population of neon-orange elk. They have been spray-painted because they may have chronic wasting disease (CWD), an elkish cousin of mad-cow disease. Elk ranching is a slightly odd industry. A small market exists for their meat, but elk have two more profitable uses. The first is as prey: hunters looking for a quick trophy pay to kill "shooter bulls" in fenced-off ranches. And the "velvet" side of the business sells off young antlers "harvested" when they are still soft and full of blood. The tissue is prized in Asia, both as a general tonic and as an aphrodisiac.
