Fellow Ferals?

   I was reading a story about plans to shoot and kill "feral cows" by shooting them from helicopters in New Mexico. Their "crimes"?

“The feral cattle in the Gila Wilderness have been aggressive towards wilderness visitors, graze year-round, and trample stream banks and springs, causing erosion and sedimentation...”

Tell the Forest Service you support feral cattle removal in the Gila  Wilderness! - Gila Conservation Coalition     

     It got me thinking, since I had never considered "feral cows" or feral animals of any kind other than cats and dogs, about the reality of "feral humans". 

     Who would qualify? Perhaps people who were abandoned at a young age? Left to fend for themselves? Could people who commit continuous crimes and spend years in prison qualify?
