The "trick" is to train them to come to the same place for food daily.
Once that has occurred, the next phase - building the fence one section
at a time - is carried out over a month's period.
As with Welfareites, freedom takes last place so long as their "creature
comforts" are being provided with no energy expenditure on *their* part.

Thanks so much

But the welfarites won't get eaten so they are smarter then
especially since there's no fence

These comprise the bulk of the vacuous voters that inflict Socialist
Politicians with Socialist Agendas upon those people who prefer to *earn*
their "creature comforts" while *preserving* their freedoms.
The disenfranchisement of Welfareites would go a very long way towards the
elimination of Socialists from "Public Life" since, then, their voter-base
would evaporate. <DG>
At one time - prior to WW2 - neither Federal Employees nor Active Military
personnel were permitted to vote in Federal Elections. An expansion of this
to include Welfare Recipients would be in the Best Interest of the People.
Of course, that's why it'll never happen.
