According to several reports breaking on social media Wednesday, federal agents targeting the Bundy Ranch in Clark County, Nev. did much more than merely herd hundreds of cows away from the site prior to backing down from their position Saturday. The following graphic images are being distributed by the Bundy Ranch as proof that multiple head of cattle were slaughtered, apparently under the direction of federal Bureau of Land Management officers.

The photos are of the same cow from different angles.
Yup. One cow.
From what I’m hearing (mass graves, abandoned calves, run-over turtle nests) there’s a lot more, but they aren’t documenting it.
The photos will make the story. These people have GOT to get PR savvy. (The fact that he never hired a lawyer tells me that he has no idea how to deal with the courts or the PR crap. It’s frustrating.)
Maybe someone needs to send PETA the pics. Either they missed the story or they care more for turtles than cows.
“”The photos are of the same cow from different angles.””
Saw this yesterday and thought the same thing....shows very clearly the one ear in the same position over and over. Doesn’t matter how many pictures they take, it’s the same position of the ear.....
Question:
Has there ever been a study that shows how much harm the cows grazing does to the turtles?
I would like to see the results of such a study.
Has the mass bovine grave been excavated yet? I wonder how many cows they are trying to hide.
They also destroyed his water tanks, fencing and water pipes.
The government said this was done to return the land back to a natural state...
Not being on the side or the dark forces...but I see one bovine. Are there others?
Allegedly.
It’s merely pining for the fjords. Lovely plummage, the Jersey Blue.
The Las Vegas Valley provides crucial habitat for the desert tortoise, but had been facing powerful development pressure from Las Vegas, which was one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States for many years.Formally approved by the USFWS in August 1991, the HCP (ed. Habitat Conservation Plan) permitted 22,352 acres of development to occur in the Las Vegas Valley in exchange for the establishment of a 400,000-acre desert tortoise preserve. Earlier, in a related action, the Conservancy helped settle a major lawsuit over the listing of the species, which has resulted in over $1 million being allocated to desert tortoise research.
Clark Countys Short-Term Desert Tortoise Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) was a landmark mitigation agreement developed by The Nature Conservancy and other conservation partners to assure the preservation of the desert tortoise while allowing development in the Las Vegas Valley to continue.
Tortoises are an indicator species, holding that if the animal is having a hard time surviving for some reason, other animals are as well.
Losses in tortoises are due to a respiratory disease, exacerbated in part by the release of captive tortoises into the wild.

I know that patriots are angry about the Bundy situation, but I think that the multiple pictures show only one cow.
“I would like to see the results of such a study”
What is the likelihood of an honest study?
Whether one or more why shoot any?
The following graphic images are being distributed by the Bundy Ranch as proof that multiple head of cattle were slaughtered, apparently under the direction of federal Bureau of Land Management officers.And of course, PETA and the Human Society will both get right on this. /s
On one hand I agree with you.
On the other hand, patriots shouldn't jeopardize their own integrity by presenting multiple pictures of what appears to be one cow and then complain when the WH Photoshops pictures of Obama.
At least three pictures of the same animal. Can’t tell about the other two pictures.
Meter Maids will be getting their own tanks and infantry units next year...
Watch for it.
Tin horn bureaucrats know they’ve ‘arrived’ when Obama gives them their own SWAT Teams to push citizens around. The name of the game is intimidation, then more intimidation...
