Richard Cockle/The Oregonian

Ken Holliday is among Grant County ranchers who have banded together to fight for grazing rights on public land. Environmentalists are seeking to ban grazing on six Malheur National Forest sites, saying cattle trample stream banks and damage steelhead habitat. Holliday says a ban would force ranches out of business and cause other problems. "There's a lot of increased fire danger when nobody's grazing cows," he says

Enviros won’t be happy until every steer is off BLM and Forest Service land and raised in feed lots.

These enviro nazis have overstepped their bounds, no one elected them to anything, they are strickly self-appointed terrorists. I feel terribly sorry for the ranchers and farmers who are losing the war against these useless people. However, electing the moronic Senator there says much about the PC thinking that has infected many Oregonians. Sad.

One of the great things about private ownership is that the owners tend to care about their property.

Grazing on public land does not have this selfish incentive, in fact, it seems somewhat socialist.

Logging on public land has the same drawbacks.

Ranchers were there before the Enviro trash were and it is not their land it is ours and I have no problem with the grazing.

I sent all these articles on to my son because what happens to these leases also happens to ORV use on historic trails on these lands...

Time to fight back on these EnviroNazis. The cattle are not hurting the streams. Fish counts go up and down in cycles due to ocean conditions. This is just them trying to destroy another business.

Pray for America

Yes, since I bought property in Grant County, Oregon just this past week I became very curious as to these ‘Environmentalists’.
What I have found out is they are part of an elaborate Enviro-Anarchist Network.
In other words they are simply ANARCHISTS.
After the very same cause—> Obama Socialism/Neo-Marxism
They are tied to an Organization that has Embedded itself in EVERY SINGLE COUNTY IN OREGON & is Now actively working on Idaho Counties.
The ‘RURAL ORGANIZING PROJECT’ that promotes:
The defence and promotion of IMMIGRANTS RIGHTS, legal or not.
They also promote the Rights & Inclusion of ALL GENDER IDENTIES and Sexuality.
This Organization is HUGE and gaining and getting larger by the day because of donations and grants from the Government.
They want EVERYONE to promote LGBT in Every County in the Nation, and that’s what they are busy working on.
Here’s some links to this ‘Rural Organizing Project’

http://www.rop.org/legislative-call-for-action-keep-guard-in-or
Public Defense Services ORA=Oregon Rural Action
Rural Development and Diversity thru Culture
the ‘RURAL ORGANIZING PROJECT’
These Anti-Cow Anti-Ranchers are just one in the same as all the Illegal Immigration Pro-Gay & Pro-LGBT Organizations all across the Nation.
They want to drive OUT the ranchers so they can Buy-Up all that Land and Develop it for Minorities and LGBT’s to have a Big-Happy Non-White U.S. Plain and simple that’s what they are after.
