Solid reasoning and proper weighting of proportionality ..a US citizen and his cattle get the Gestapo...illegal aliens from another nation get an escort..

Protecting the pristine beauty of the sun-baked and dust-caked outskirts of Las Vegas and its charismatic fauna from grazing cattle — which the Bureau of Land Management seems to regard as an Old Testament plague — seems to me to be something less than a critical national priority.

Something that is getting kind of lost in all of the positioning is the role of the BLM in relation to other agencies. For critical habitats or scenic areas, there are wilderness area designations. The National Parks and forests also protect wildlife and scenery, but offer more access by humans. National monuments are also used for middle level access by the public and protections for wildlife.

And then there is the BLM land. BLM land is the "miscellaneous" category of federal land. It is land that has been designated for multiple uses, including for natural resources , recreation, and ranching. BML land is very good for wildlife, but only in a roundabout way. Most BML land, is open to the public, but it isn't particularly attractive as a tourist destination, and so it gets far less human traffic, which leaves the animals alone. But it is wrong to say that BML land is for the preservation of endangered species and critical habitats, because if it was a critical habitat, it wouldn't be designated BLM land.

Don’t let the feds distract you with their “protect the tortoise” bald-faced lie. It is completely untrue. Cattle do not harm tortoise habitat, they expand and enhance it. There are more tortoises there now than there were before cattle.

Here’s how it works:
A tortoise has a fairly small travel radius from food and water, because they travel so slowly. Cows, on the other hand can range much farther from water. The cows make regular deposits in the form of partially digested plants and water. When a tortoise comes upon one of these hospitable piles, they see food and drink - so they don’t have to keep as close to the water hole. Voila! More available habitat = more tortoises.

It is a complete fraud - and we should not give their duplicity the honor of even considering it other that a complete lie.
