There are more mature forests today than when Columbus discovered America. That is partly because there were more forest fires in those days, but it is also because mature forests are not good hunting grounds.

Supposedly, the loss of buffalo has contributed to the increase in forested land.

Don't get me wrong, I could not care less about this loss...

So now that the DemocRATs want to give subsidies to bison ranchers, I guess we'll se the destruction of the forests. Maybe we should warn Earth First. And PETA.
