[RC] How tree hugging hurts the environment - Marlene Moss

My husband’s family lives in Steamboat Colorado and have lived there far longer than the hippy/tree huggers.  The tree huggers are trying to restrict the use of cattle on BLM land, trying to buy up land so that it can’t be used and to leave it “pristine”.  Well, anyone who knows Steamboat knows how fast and big things grow there.  So what’s happened is that the undergrowth is totally out of control and a single lightening strike could cause a fire that would be devastating to plant, animal and humans.  Naturally, fires are supposed to happen to clear out the undergrowth, but no one, not even the tree huggers, are going to vote to just allow the fires to burn.  So the cattle can actually play an important role in keeping the overall environment safe.  This is one of those topics that are not safe to bring up at the dinner table!!!
