link to the Western Watersheds Project is misinterpreted in your comment. You may have that opinion of what they are doing but that is not fact. The WWP is advocating for removal of ecosystem destroying cattle grazing on public lands. If you don't have enough room on your property to graze your cows, you have too many cows. And look what they do to the landscape, they ruin it for years by trampling riparian areas and killing off entire fisheries, importing invasive exotic species of vegetation and bugs not to mention the brucella abortis problem that bison have been blamed for and killed over when it was cattle that brought that here and passed it to bison and elk (Spoiler alert, elk pass it back to cattle not bison).

It's really quite simple to understand and regardless of your opinion, the fact is that western state ranchers wouldn't be viable as businesses if not for the massive subsidies allowed them. Not misleading at all.

What this whole argument can be boiled down to is that the cattle industry had its way in the west for about a hundred years and when that era ended, the cattle industry tried to stop it but since they are losing their deathgrip on control of the local governing bodies and public land they are having a massive temper tantrum and the Bundys are a prime example of the tantrum.

get over it, adapt.
