If I could afford to go I would.
Obama will not go out like a lamb! JMHO!
The most complete data is from the Beaver Dam Mountains. Woodbury and Hardy reported a tortoise population density of 150 per square mile in 1948. BLM reduced cattle grazing a few years later and eliminated cattle in 1970. Coombs reported a tortoise density of 39 per square mile in 1974. In these 26 years cattle use was reduced 100 percent and tortoise numbers were reduced 74 percent.
These tortoises were doing so poorly a veterinarian, Dr. Jarchow, was consulted. He reported all six specimens were suffering from osteoporosis caused by a protein deficiency in their diet. Dr. Jarchow examined five specimens from the same mountains that shared their range with cattle. He reported these specimens were all healthy and well nourished.
The historical record proves conclusively that tortoise thrive when cattle are on the range with them and without cattle grazing they are always malnourished and unhealthy and their numbers plummet.

For what it’s worth, folks, here’s another doc to add to the list documenting BLM’s land grab
http://www.ntc.blm.gov/krc/uploads/704/6-Dry%20Lake%20Solar%20Energy%20Zone.pdf
There’s a name, email address & phone number at the end of it to spread the joy...
(I saved the doc just in case it disappears as well...)
Wait for it from the MSM: when lefty cranks do this, they’re “holding vigil”; when patriotic Americans do it, they’re “vigilantes.”
What is the government going to do with the cattle once they have them?
Freepers back this effort 100%!
Are there any pictures on site of the good guys?
I hope they are all bringing their artillery
counter sniper teams to the fore , 2 can play that game .
Government is eager to protect a turtle but not and unborn human. that tells you where we are headed.
“Lueders said she understood that the heavy equipment was being used to restore land that has been affected by the trespass cattle.
The Bundy family has expressed concerns that the cattle are being mistreated. Stetsy Bundy Cox, Cliven Bundys daughter, told the Washington Free Beacon that she believes calves are being left behind.
I watched them gather a herd off the river with helicopters, and they had rounded them for miles and by the time I saw them they were pushing them up the wash, she said. Most of them were mamas with babies because its calving season, and theyre just little. And I watched the calves, they couldnt keep up very good and they kept slowing down and the helicopter would swoop down and you could hear them honking at them. And he kept swooping down and honking at them.
Cox said that calves will hide under brush, and it is likely that employees removing the cattle would not see them.
I also know my dads cows, because a few of those cows out there are my own personal cows, she said. When you push them too hard, or if you rope them they sulk. Theyre kind of stubborn. And if they dont want to go theyll sulk. And if they get down and sulk theyll sulk so long they wont even get up, theyll just die. So if you stress those cows out too much, theyll do that.
Do I think they are leaving baby calves out there? I do, Cox said. Do I think that cows are dying? I do.

Are BLM satellite broadcasts to ‘employees & stakeholders’ subject to FOIA retention rules?
More on BLM’s National Training Center archive on their ‘mitigation’
http://www.ntc.blm.gov/krc/viewresource.php?courseID=704
I guess they do archive it (while it remains there).
I’d like to know who the ‘stakeholders’ are...
Why does Bureau of Land Management have "agents?"
The larger issue is the overreach of the Feds, and a populace that is resorting to defiance in the face of overbearing laws.
Witness (perhaps) hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Connecticut residents refusing to register their rifles, thus becoming instant felons.
Same is expected next week when New York state's new gun laws take effect:
"Screw you, we will not comply."
"DONT TREAD ON ME", indeed.
Our communists criminals have taken over America. America is finished.
standing with the Bundy’s is good.
having 3/4s of the militia stand BEHIND the Feds would be better
God keep you safe.
This is older than Obama. The fed government has no business owning this land.
HEY FOX NEWS-!!!!!
‘TENSER,’ - REALLY - ???!
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO GRAMMAR/ENGLISH??
Just yesterday I heard 2 or 3 grammatical errors - not necessarily on FOX -
I didn’t know what was up with all the mistakes - in one day!
No - not an English major.
My ears just hurt lately!
Oh - just in case - - the word is a phrase: ‘more tense.’
