Agreed that Bundy should be allowed to graze the cattle on his original allotment but he should also pay his permits properly like everyone else (and like he had done originally) and remove his cattle from the new trespass area. BLM should be made to fully explain and justify their land use policies for the allotments in question and if they can’t do so, they need to ease the restrictions.
As I understand the issue, his family has grazed the cattle on this land for well over a century. They have always paid a grazing fee to the county. The Feds came in with the Bureau of Land Management in 1993 and demanded payment instead... the land was never officially transferred in ownership, just in management. Bundy attempted repeatedly to pay the county as he always had but was rebuffed. He refuses to pay the Feds for the "privilege" of grazing on land they don't own.
