Local radio Host on KKFT 99.1fm is claiming he has tape of a BLM agent confessing to a person named Steel or Steele that the BLM agents had orders to shoot anyone “trying to take cattle” for the pens.
In addition, the BLM destroyed fences, watering sources and other items the Bundy’s had put on the range. Other animals depend on that water to live.
Photographic Documentation of those actions should be made soon, before the black memory hole eats them..
People think when cattle are removed from rangeland the wildlife flourishes. That is totally false, wildlife depend on water provided to cattle to survive, cattle have been there long enough to become a big part of that eco-system and issues other than water come into play (example, turtles eating cattle dung) when they are removed the wildlife does not flourish, instead much of the wildlife must relocate or die. When large areas are cleared of cattle relocation of wildlife becomes more and more difficult.
Do it and see what happens.
