The Nature Conservancy has received a $660,000 federal grant to use as a down payment toward the purchase of the 420-acre Cagney Ranch in the grasslands belt south of the Ramona airport. The money, which came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will be matched with a $165,000 grant from the state, according to Ann Van Leer of the Nature Conservancy.
You'll still get people going around claiming that the robber-baron Conservancy is a "private organizaion" just exercising the right to buy property. Meanwhile we give them millions of our own tax money.
You know this is completely insane! Where does the US Fish and Wildlife get their monies? From us poor idiot tax-payers! ( You know the bill that passed many years ago, something something Pritt???). The one that everytime we buy a hunting license, trout stamp and duck stamp, etc., that that money was to go to fish hatcheries, and protections....did so for along time, but now??? Now the monies are being used for gross nefarious reasons! The WV DNR "stole this past year $16.+ million dollars! (I will post that article later).....but whoever said these funds could/should go to a(an) non-governmental organization (s), that has billions already???
Dang if this does not tick folks off to know that their monies they spend for hunting and fishing licenses are now being used to STEAL land from their friends and neighbors, What will? Folks need to be awaken? Were is the NRA when we need them? Oh, straddling the fence! Luke warm! That is not a good place to be!
