USFS turns to saws to get rid of frozen cows
Federal forest officials are thinking of using hand saws to break up
the carcasses of frozen cows that died inside a cabin at 11,000 feet
near Aspen. The U.S. Forest Service had been exploring whether to burn the cabin
or blow it up with explosives to get rid of the cabin and the cows. But a
plan explored this week involves using hand saws to cut up carcasses of
six cows frozen inside the cabin and four or five buried in the snow
outside. Rangers believe the cows wandered into the cabin near the popular
Conundrum Hot Springs during a snowstorm but couldn't find their way
out. Air Force Academy cadets found their frozen carcasses while
snowshoeing in late March. Forest officials wanted to remove the carcasses before they thaw. AP
