How are the cattle going to bother a mouse that is hibernating?

So the government knows what a fence is. Is this an invasive species they are protecting?

[george76]

The feds can build fences to protect mice and cut off
grazing land / water for cattle, but cannot build a fence to protect our borders ?

Water rights are owned by the landowners as determined by state water courts, etc. ?

I’d be curious to know who the Luceros voted for in 2012. I wonder whether they did the same thing as the Punjabi family Victor David Hanson knows in California:

mouse gets better treatment than the veterans at the VA....

Turn loose a whole bunch of cats, mice gone, problem solved.

[Jim from C-Town]

This story is bogus. I have been told that building a fence is an impossibility for the government.

Moderator please remove this specious post!

Fences for the jumping mouse but not for our own border...

[abclily]

This nation has gone completely crazy! We can build an 8-foot-high fence to protect a mouse, but we can’t build a fence to protect our border? Hang it up - the United States as we knew it is gone. We’ve been brought down by evil craziness.

[Cyclone59]

That’s our govt for us. They will build a fence to protect a fricken mouse, but not one to protect our country. I am going to round up a bunch of cat and take them on a field trip to help out with this mouse problem. Besides aren’t the Fish and Wildlife Nazis busy harassing collectors and musician that have ivory in things like old clocks, pianos and bows for string instruments.

There are no threatened mice in New Mexico.

Other than the too-many Democrats, leftists, liberals, and GOPe.

In both cases, mice are flourishing in New Mexico.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the meadow jumping mouse as an endangered species.

Are there actual criteria these people use to make these listings, or do they just pull the findings out of their asses at the behest of environ-MENTAL groups?

“We’re not against it,” Orlando Lucero, whose family has ranched on land in the Jemez Mountains near Valles Caldera since the 1800s, said of designating the mouse as endangered. “If it’s endangered, let’s protect it. But let’s do it right. There’s not only one way to do it.”

And while ranchers say their livelihoods may be threatened, they shouldn’t be the only ones concerned. Anyone who hunts, fishes, or enjoys camping at the nearby San Antonio Campground will be impacted, they say.

Knowing northern NM as I do, any fences put up by the Forest Service that serve to keep out humans won't last long. As the article says, the locals have been there for hundreds of years and won't take kindly to the feds and city environmentalists keeping them out.

This endangered species crap has gone too far.
