What do you expect the governor to do?

Intercede to protect citizen property rights...it's Job 1.

Objecting to roping off an area the size of a small city for a turtle would be helpful too. Somehow I think 1000 head of cattle and a couple hundred turtles could co-exist. I've worked ranches with 100,000 acres (+ another 50000 or so if you include the BLM land we worked) and you can spend your life just finding the damn strays, much less worry about them out-eating the turtles, lizards, rabbits, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, illegal aliens etc...

And they haven't paid the grazing fees in 25 years while other farmers have

So what. Someone should resist. Used to be free. Then the Enviros got involved and agitated for the fees to drive the ranchers off the land. And that land was considered only of value because the ranchers homesteaded it in the 19th century.

You think sending 200 thugs with guns is OK to steal a rancher's property? Must have thought Waco and Ruby Ridge were righteous events.

The grazing fees were instituted in 1934 under the Taylor Grazing Act. The enviro-nazis had nothing to do with the establishment of grazing fees.

Wait a second. Environmentalists got involved and agitated for the fees...in 1934? That's how long grazing fees have been around.
