Re: [RC] weed free - Barbara McCrary

I can also tell you firsthand that doing a lot research and presenting facts doesn't always work, either. The anti-(whatever) people often will NOT accept facts as proven by research. They have an agenda, they make their living off that agenda, because there is a lot of federal and private money put into being "anti-" and they don't want to lose their money. I am not being cynical when I say this; this is based on personal and family experience.
That said, we may as well at least try to present our facts based on research. But if we are up against people who believe that a man on foot should be the only one to enter an area, you may do all the research you want because that is what they believe (or say they believe) and please...don't confuse them with facts.

So we need to understand what the impacts are of horses. We need to know
these as facts backed by real research. Then we can make rational decisions.


What really advances the environmental cause, and does so correctly, is
facts. Armed with facts, you can go to court and make changes. If we are
also armed with facts, then we'll know whether we're being unfairly
deprived. If we are, then we can challenge these decisions in court and get
some changes made.
