American Prairie loses grazing rights

[PLhunter]

Hunters talk a great game but it seems we continue to get farther and farther away from being stewards of the land, and it’s turned to a “how does this benefit me” not how dos this benefit the animals, ecosystem or landscape in general.

What’s worse is it’s not “how does it benefit me” it’s “how does it benefit this separate interest that doesn’t care about or benefit me at all.”

Wouldn’t that make them livestock by this logic and eligible to graze? Bison aren’t worth saving because they have some cattle DNA in them. Bison aren’t eligible to graze because they aren’t cows. Which is it?

Whichever is most convenient for the argument at the time.

I'm not even sure this covers it.

I've been trying to track a cohesive narrative in the anti-APR position and the best I can come up with is "It's new and different and I hate it"

The resistance to change, for good or bad, seems to embody so much of the hunting community.

My own state has just last year made Sunday hunting fully legal AND PEOPLE ARE CRYING ABOUT MORE DAYS TO HUNT.

It's not bison. It's not APR or anything like that.

It's fear of what's around the corner.

Public lands should be kept for the public use.

Private citizens, not corporations.

Non profit have no business in farming

I think you guys need to get down off your conservation high horses. There is a reason AP does not market their project in the fashion and tone you guys take. There is plenty of things to look at with the AP project and have legitimate questions or concerns about, even people believe American Prairie has some or lots of public benefits.
