Regardless of what response you favor, BLM did back off in the face of armed intimidation

93. Here's the only update I've seen on BLM's cattle removal. The source is by a nearby land management

center out of Idaho, which got reports that Bundy's cattle were wandering over into Idaho public lands, as well. They've covered the Bundy situation over the last few years, it seems.

"...Total trespass cattle secured 389-

134 cattle secured by Monday night-
43 additional cattle by Tuesday night-
75 more cattle by Wednesday night-
25 more Thursday night,
12 more Friday night-

On Saturday, April 5 the U.S. Bureau of Land Management BLM) began rounding up the hundreds of cattle owned by rancher Cliven Bundy of Bunkerville, Nevada. The cattle are a mixture of trespass cattle Bundy runs on U.S. public land for which he has no permit and also apparently feral cattle, probably derived from the trespass cattle. In surveys this month, the BLM identified 908 cattle illegally on the often scenic Gold Butte public land area. Cattle are spread in groups over an incredible 750,000 acres!

When Bundy stopped paying his required grazing fees in 1993, the BLM had authorized him to graze only 152 cattle on 158,000 acres..."

I looks as if BLM is going to do what it's going to do without all the Koch and victim and vigilante-fueled theater.
