The stupid part is that the envirowhackos, by removing livestock from the land, are actually destroying it. All this land was grazed by millions of buffalo, elk, etc for millions of years. Modern man merely replaced them with cattle.
When the idiot greenies get done, the land truely will be destroyed by junk foliage.
I doubt that the buffalo and elk were on this land in the densities that the cattle are at present. If they were, this would have been a happy hunting ground the Indians would still be raving about. I know this from having had to step over many a cow pie along Deer Creek and shoo the cattle out of my way.

I doubt it. The land is pretty dry and doesn't support much foliage. Much of it is bare rock. The canyons where cattle have been excluded, like Coyote Gulch, aren't overrun by foliage. There are deer down in Coyote Gulch to take care of any excess.
This is not to say that I like idiot greenies. I don't. I have been battling their junk science for years in scientific journals. However, getting cattle out of the canyons and stream beds is a great idea. Cattle seem to be the number one complaint on BLM trail registers.
Setting aside Grand Staircase-Escalante is the only thing Clintoon ever did that I approved of. There are world-class hikes in this area.
