Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 " The rancher - with a few honorable exceptions - is a man who strings barbed wire all over the range; drills wells and bulldozes stock ponds; drives off elk and antelope and bighorn sheep; poisons coyotes and prairie dogs; shoots eagles, bears, and cougars on sight; supplants the native grasses with tumbleweed, snakeweed, povertyweed, cow shit, anthills, mud, dust, and flies. And then leans back and grins at the TV cameras and talks about how he loves the American West. " --Edward Abbey, writer, environmentalist Imagine how much worse industrial ranches, or cattle farms, and pig farms, and so on, can be. Are.
