It seems the EPA had decided that elk, like their bovine cousins the cows, created significant amounts of high carbon gas in the digestive process. To stop global warming, it was necessary to fit these elk with a new catalytic converter, and the boys from Washington DC were here in Montana looking for the first recipients.
