Folks have to realize that the environmental groups don’t give a rip about the mountain lions, jumping mice, snail darters, spotted owls or any other “endangered” critter or plant. There simply are a means to an end, first of all, making money, and secondly preserving the environment in it’s “natural” state (”Our members use the area for spiritual renewal” is a phrase that comes to mind). Well, folks, that “natural state is going to burn - that’s natures way of keeping it “natural”. I have actually had “environmentalists” say they don’t care if it burns, just so long as no one is making a profit off the (in this case) timber.
If the worthless “jumping” mouse lives up to its name, it can “jump”out of the way of the cattle. The eco-nut FEDs are such asses.
It's stupid. Critters become extinct and just like climate change....man's interference had "0" to do with it.
