WildEarth Guardians: Update: Government Rejects Guardians Bid for Cow Free Caldera

Just goes to show you that even paying the government isn’t enough to overcome the power of the cattle industry. Why is it that they have so much power and control over land that we pay for with our taxes?

WildEarth Guardians: Update: Government Rejects Guardians Bid for Cow Free Caldera

“The Director of the Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico has declined our offer of $35,000 to not graze domestic livestock on the Preserve. We were hopeful this year in the aftermath of the largest fire in New Mexico’s recorded history that the Preserve would seek to rest the traumatized ecosystems and still get paid.”

I’m not sure what it’s going to take to weaken the stronghold that these cattle ranchers have on our leaders.

Wildlife services kills thousands of animals a year on public property so that their cows can feed unmolested. It’s sad that we the people pretty much have no say in what is allowed on our own land.
