Another five years will get rid of most ranchers if not all. Imagine being asked to close any business for five years and act as though that is a reasonable request.
Radical environmentalists do not want a single cow to live anywhere on earth. They do not care who owns the land, do not care about anything except they hate cows and the people that have them. They have been using every excuse they can to get rid of every rancher and cow for about the last 40 years. They have claimed everything from damage to land, to endangered fish, turtles, you name it they have claimed it. They have many times filed lawsuits against the Forest Service and the BLM any time those agencies tried to do anything that would support the rancher or grazing leases. I bet if someone would dig into it they would find where the BLM has had several lawsuits filed against them over the Bundy issues by environmental groups and possible individuals.
We have also reached a point where most people do not have a clue where their food comes from other than Walmart. They seem to have no concern that the government is putting the people out of business that raise/harvest our food. Those that produce our food are being persecuted, from fisheries, ranches, farms...you name it our food supply is under attack, so no matter what food you eat or don’t eat, those that produce it are being regulated out of business on the whim of people who don’t have a clue.
Every year more and more of my food comes from my backyard. I don’t care to eat stuff from China in particular, but who knows what any of the producers are doing these days.
If I buy stuff, I try to buy it locally if possible.

You forgot the big one: Global warming is caused by hamburgers.
Either that or the Chinese are calling in some debt
Well said. I agree completely.
