Riverdog, let me educate you a little bit.
First: Most of the sheep herders here in Utah and the other mountain west states are not your so called "victims of illegal trafficking". They are mostly Peruvians with a few Basque still. They are almost always here legally as the ranchers get hire them through a visa program.
Secondly: "Health risk" really?!? I'm sure you're smart enough to realize just how ridiculous this statement sounds. You're not saying the all the deer, elk, and other wildlife that hang around our reservoirs, rivers, and streams that provide our domestic water don't pose a health threat but the sheep do, are you? I'm sure that's not the case because that would just be idiotic. That's why we have water treatment facilities to treat our domestic water before it is delivered to our homes.
