gave the BLM the rationale they needed to order a 500% decrease in his cattle numbers. No quantity of anything in the universe can be decreased by more than 100%. Either the BLM is mathematically incompetant or the journalist is.

Which is why I don’t elk hunt. Deer hunting is going the same way

Cattle cannot graze on those lands for fear of harming the tortoise. But.....If you pay the fines we are levying on you, you can graze your cattle there. A license is always just a piece of paper that allows you to do something illegal (once you've paid your "protection money" to the government).

That was back when the Democrats were busy ‘saving the family farm’. We heard that line a lot up this way, and if they’d kept saving farms at the rate they were, there wouldn’t be one left. As it happened, many incorporated the family farm to avoid death taxes.

We can’t “eat local buy local” with the Feds running farms and ranchers out of business.

On some of the very large ranches in Los Animas county in southern CO, as the saying goes, there is more money in elk than there is in cattle.
Of course, the local DOW guy gets a personal invite to hunt every year so he and the ranchers are on pretty good terms....

Does the “federally-protected” desert tortoise feed as many human beings as Bundy’s cattle do?
Nope.
So which one is more important. That’s an easy one.

“...The BLM halted its roundup Saturday as gun-toting militia and protesters in support of Bundy converged on a corral... “
How about “...The “heavily armed, assault rifle and machine gun-equipped BLM, complete with armed helicopter air support, halted it’s illegal theft of private property...”
There... fixed it.
Figured we owed them the correction for the “gun-toting militia” remark.

Got it.
Shhh.. financial elites have ordered their news media to keep this quiet; it's been an enormous effort to keep the secret.
You let a little logic slip out into the sheeple's mind, and there's no tellin' how far it'll go.
You know how many judges have to be compromised to preserve these corrupt land deals if you come up with simple facts like that ???

The Feds control 8r4% of the land mass of Nevada.
That amounts to more than 4 acres for the Feds & one acre for the citizens.

You forgot-
OR
reduce the amount of cattle in compliance with the Endangered Species Act and have your herd number drop so low, you violate the range rights stipulation in your property’s Deed and lose access to the water altogether.”””””\\You re correct.
It is a fatal squeeze play on all ranchers & farmers.

During my years in the Arizona desert I learned that the grazing rights for cattle on these arid lands required 40 acres for each head. I assume the ratio is similar if not the same in Nevada. There is no threat whatsoever to desert tortoises from cattle. It is a ridiculous pretense.
To: dontreadthis
Yeah, my thinking too. OK well since he has so much support I guess we can throw ours in with reservations...

Now if he was of Indian ancestry, hmmmmmm.One of the more recent Nevada cattle confiscations was from a few women in a tribe. Shoshone I believe.

I’ve heard that the area is awash in rare earth metals, and dingy harry is trying to put the area off limits so his chinese paymasters can get their grubby hands on the mineral rights.

To: Jim Robinson
“In Bundys case the designation of his grazing area as a critical habitat for the endangered desert tortoise gave the BLM the rationale they needed to order a 500% decrease in his cattle numbers. There never was any scientific proof that cattle had historically harmed the desert tortoise.
They do not need any scientific proof at all. They are invoking Item 15 of The Rio Declaration of Agenda 21:
Principle 15. Precautionary principle
“In order to protect the environment, the precautionary approach shall be widely applied by States according to their capabilities. Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation”
