I went to a dairy farm recently, the cows were free-range but it was such a gross environment, they were covered in flies and mud. Wild animals don't look like that, I've seen buffalo in national parks and they don't look half as decrepit as dairy cows.

A study published in the Canadian Journal of Zoology in 2018 found that from 2014 to 2016, 70 percent of moose calves in west-central Maine and northern New Hampshire died of emaciation by winter tick infestation. On average, each animal hosted 47,371 ticks.
