Default Sheep Management Disaster

Well so far this winter our management unit alone has lost 34 big horn sheep (at least one big full curl that I know of) to vehical runins on our highway..I live in their main wintering ground so its nothing to see a up to 50 every day..
Gov and municiple talks have been discussed about the issue but nothings happened..
High fences have been proposed along the highway,
it won't be the answer but it would be a start better than nothing..
The biggest problem is founding who's gonna pay what.
Recently a local fellow offered to pay for the high fenceas well as an underground culvert to be built, out of his own pocket and was turned down..
No reason as to why and not even a Thankyou for offering to do it from the Provincial level of gov..
He did get a Thank-you from the municiple level...
This just pisses me off....A gracious offer to save lives of humans and animals, keep insurance rates down and its a NO.[:@]
