Feds screwing things up again, I am utterly shocked. LOL
BTW just how big is a sage grouse, never seen one in person or otherwise.
Just more fodder for the masses, the STATE can ORDER all Federal Agents out of their State, they can only operate with express permission from the State, That includes ALL FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, which nowadays covers all federal agencies almost.
ARREST THEM AND CHARGE THEM IN STATE COURT, they can do NOTHING!
and if that seems to be a little harsh for you squishy types, just REFUSE to cooperate with EVERY FEDERAL AGENCY AND EMPLOYEE in the STATE.
The ‘sage grouse’ conservation strategy was used to keep people off the lands taken over by the government, and keep anyone from mining them.
That is because these lands are being used as collateral on loans to places like China.
Well, they’ve taken possession. Now they want to use the land for mining. So.... strategy switched off.
The federal government always has something to “Grouse” about.
Just couldn’t resist!
However, there was another issue about cattle grazing endangering the grouse or some other land bird though their population was actually growing with the cattle around.
Science in the government is becoming more and more an oxymoron with an emphasis on “moron”. That is the tragedy in all of this. Many of the so-called “stewards of the environment” are becoming more like “stooges of bad environmental science”.
The miners could feed the sage grouse in return for having the grouse work in the mines. Maybe that will make the Feds happy.
