re: 300+ Nevada ranchers and militia stage an armed insurrection against the USBLM

The BLM is saying the developers are interested in restoring the area and can't do it with cows eating everything. And the BLM has expressed a preference for having someone pay to turn the area into some kind of wildlife sanctuary over having someone's cows trespass and eat stuff there for free.

How do you rationalize that position with the knowledge that the west thrived with MILLIONS of American Buffalo roaming and grazing on these lands? The Desert Tortoise managed to survive that, certainly 900 cattle aren't a significant endangerment.

Again, only the naive believe this is about taxes. Bundy may even have prescriptive rights to utilize that land.

I don't really care what your political persuasion is. The federal government is out of control.
