U.S. Forest Service managers approved the plan Thursday to protect sensitive spots in the nation’s first designated wilderness area. The move sets the stage for legal challenges over how to handle unbranded livestock and other stray cows as drought deepens in the West.

So did I understand that there are 150 mavericks causing problems in hundreds of square miles of wilderness?
ReplyDeleteMeat is bad you will all eat bugs!
DeleteThey're just saying its because of the water. Everybody knows its because of their farts.
DeleteWhy not let the public harvest these feral cows?
ReplyDeleteThe Center for Biological Diversity contends that 50 to 150 cattle grazing over 870 square miles affects water quality.
ReplyDeleteMy family has 50 head that graze year round on just under a square mile. Our ranch is directly upstream from a 12,000 acre wildlife area, administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The year round creek that flows through our place flows directly onto the wildlife area and we have never received a single complaint from CDF&W in the 70+ years we've run cattle.
BTW, CA DF&W also grazes cattle seasonally on their land.
The people at the Center for Biological Diversity are born liars. Several years ago they tried to run a rancher off of his government allotments near the border by claiming his cattle killed fish by 'stepping on them'. The case went to court and the liars lost.
They just can't resist eliminating our food stocks can they?!
ReplyDeleteHope they save the meat at least.
ReplyDeleteThey would do better rounding up the wild horses, javelinas, burros and hogs.
ReplyDeleteWhere is PETA?
ReplyDeleteCould we get politicians too? Cull those fuckers.
DeleteBut shoot a wild horse you become a felon.
