Don’t know much about judge Ancer Haggerty but checked a little and he’s made favorable rulings for environmentalists in the past.
The eventual goal includes banning hikers. No people allowed.
Sadly you’re probably right.
“The establishment of an American soviet government will require the confiscation of large landed estates in both town and country, and the entirety of lakes, forests, rivers and mineral deposits.”
William Z. Foster, founder of the Fosterite division of world communism. 1932.
What is occurring in an Americanized version of “DeKulackization” of America.
“Another judge’s ruling in favor of enviros against ranchers. This is just one more step to get ranchers and everyone but hikers off federal (our) public lands by enviro nazis. “
They did it to the fishermen and now they are doing it to the ranchers.
The ranchers should truck their herd to every envirowhackos house and let them graze on their nice cozy suburban lots.
Then again, if it was my land and someone was taking food out of my kids mouth, I would make their life miserable.
In the Pacific Northwest, salmon are sacred. That’s no joke and there is widespread public support for environmental restrictions that protect salmon habitat.
I am not anti-rancher or anti-cattlemen. But a person who can’t run their operation profitably without using public lands, well, they had better change what they’re doing.
You can’t rely on the government, period.
Bears and Birds get trout (steelhead) never saw a cow wade in to grab a fish.
Wait until they ban all motorized vehicles from Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. A lot of us hunters can say goodbye to hunting there and a ton of ranchers will be SOL.
Yep, I know some ranchers in Eastern Oregon, they’re good people, work very hard and just get by. These rulings will break them and it won’t take many more like it to do it. The enviro nazis have practically unlimited funds and the ranchers don’t, it’s really sad.
Ted Turner would love to buy some more foreclosed ranch land so he could build another eco-lodge next to a private jet port for his Hollywood friends
You have to familiarize yourself with ranching that’s done in the NW. The leasing of summer grazing has been going on for many many years and it’s the only thing that has allowed the ranchers to stay in business. The enviros are using anything they can to get not only the rancher off the land but everyone, their arguments for the most part are bs.
Like all counties in eastern Oregon, the majority of registered voters who are party of a political party in Grant County are members of the Republican Party. In the 2008 presidential election, 70.97% of Grant County voters voted for Republican John McCain, while 26.05% voted for Democrat Barack Obama and 3.94% of voters either voted for a Third Party candidate or wrote in a candidate.[1] These numbers show a small but definite shift towards the Democratic candidate when compared to the 2004 presidential election, in which 78.9% of Grant County voters voted for George W. Bush, while 19.2% voted for John Kerry, and .9% of voters either voted for a Third Party candidate or wrote in a candidate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_County,_Oregon
You bet he would and probably is licking his chops with every one of these type rulings.
I haven’t looked up the stats but that sounds a lot like Harney County also, not many two legged Rats there that are easy to find.
I don’t know why we even need leftist politicians. The “courts” are doing a great job destroying this country and running it into the ground.
No probably about it, they’ve publicly stated it on many many occasions. No people except in large cities and the train tracks in between.
You have a point but the real purpose of this isn’t to help salmon, its to hurt the ranchers.
Get the Fed out!

If I’m recalling correctly, Oregon has the most Federally owned land of all States.
