The article, originally reported by SurvivalWorld, highlights Yanasa TV’s host on‑site coverage, in which he reported on North Park rancher G.D. Lesson submitting a claim for $2,542 in damages—yet being denied compensation because only livestock deaths qualify. As Rankin pointed out:

This stark statement underscores how the program’s policies pressure ranchers to abandon injured animals rather than seek help, raising moral and systemic questions.
Key points from Yanasa TV’s featured coverage:
Real‑world impact: Yanasa TV staged an interview with Lesson, laying bare the rancher’s frustration that veterinary care for injured calves isn’t covered—even though injuries often lead to death, further burdening producers.
Systemic failure: The reporting delves into how program rules favor financial death payouts over preventive animal welfare, fostering distrust among rural communities.
Public response: Ranchers and local leaders are expressing outrage, accusing state wildlife management of misaligned priorities that devalue livestock care.
