I don’t care if it is a federal matter involving Czars in Washington. Cattle is a multi-billion dollar business in Texas and limiting it using endangered species act just would never happen. Maybe in California, it would be easier, but not in my state.
Amen, Brad. I’m with you.
A lot of federal lands are leased to cattle ranchers throughout the west. I don’t know about Texas in particular but this will have an effect on cattle on federal lands
House votes to save wild horses, burros
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to expand the range of the nation’s wild horses and burros by millions of acres and to block a plan to kill thousands of the animals to prevent overgrazing.
The bill passed 239-185 Friday.
Supporters say the additional land and other measurers are needed to free thousands of mustangs and burros from holding pens and to prevent their slaughter.
