Fer chrissakes, how long is the the American public going to allow the small and dwindling number of cow-raisers continue to dominate the management priorities for wildlife and by extension resilience of our shared ecosystems? Be it bison, wolves, grizzly bears, cougars, even prairie dogs, cow-raisers hold an obscene amount of power over wildlife agencies in the West, especially compared to their barely-detectable contribution to the economy. Only 3% of cows eaten by people in the US are raised west of the Mississippi. Time for the majority to take back power and prioritize ecosystems and wildlife over these intransigent hobbyists.
