“Robinson would move his herd when warned of a major event at the camp, such as a religious meeting that drew tens of thousands....when they swung by to check on the herd, being tended by a hired Peruvian shepherd. They were startled to find the area overrun with mountain bikers. Vail’s recreation department had scheduled a bike race and never informed the herders.”
He was not informed of the race or he would have moved the band.
As for the Peruvians rescuing, often it is a matter of distance in the mountains on who gets to play hero. The sheep spread out to graze, the herders takes a high point to watch, and the dogs circulate among the sheep to guard.
As I said, I lived in Vail, for ten years, and I have also ridden Camp Hale. It is an area that is part of the Vail Town mountain bike series, which is sponsored by the Vail Recreation District, not a rogue band of tattooed, body pierced, renegade, maggot infested liberals.
I am also aware of the rampant use of illegal aliens in the Vail area, and apparently, FO is too, but he applies selective logic for some reason.
We are told by Robinson that he uses “professional Peruvian sheep herders,” but curiously, the reporter never talks to the Peruvian, or verifies anything about him, and he is nowhere to be seen when the dogs are ripping a woman apart for her crime of wanting to finish a Vail Town organized bike race. Additionally, his “professional Peruvian sheepherders” were nowhere to be seen in the days leading up to the race when the course was marked out, or even the day of the race when the herd they are hired to watch began to be threatened by evil citizen predators on mountain bikes? Robinson says he didn’t know about the race, but he also says he found the race going on when he dropped by. He also said another of his dogs had bit someone five days earlier. He has also admitted to being antagonistic toward people who want to enjoy their access to public land that he uses, too. Which might explain why he said if he knew the race was going on he would have moved his herd, but he when he found the race going on he didn’t move his herd.
So according to you all, a woman who participated in a town sponsored race, got off easy, and really deserved to suffer even more serious injuries than she did, or even be killed, and if the Great Pyrenees, or Pit Bulls couldn’t do the job, mountain lions should have because “she screamed” at an inappropriate time?
At least he was found guilty, and now, thanks to his hostility towards innocent civilian mountain biker/hikers, and his incompetence in finding the race going on, that if he knew was going on he would have moved his herd, but he didn’t...now no longer uses sheep dogs and is losing sheep to predators. Guess that means he’s going to have to leave the area, or quit sheep herding?
Oh, the nerve of that evil citizen using public land, and screaming when she shouldn’t have.
What is really frightening is that people like you all probably tell other reasonable people that you are “conservative.”
