Who’s next? The Birds? Because they pose a grave national risk to our military readiness? Especially when we’re opening a new homefront against the bison?
We must ensure that public lands remain accessible and productive, rather than being locked away for the vision of special interests.
Which is exactly what the APF was doing.
I guess now they want it to be locked away by cattle ranchers.
Until earlier this year, American Prairie had leases to graze its bison on seven allotments in Phillips County, Montana. However, Doug Burgum, the secretary of the interior, who owns a ranch in neighbouring North Dakota, has favoured the arguments of cattle farmers eager to graze their cow herds on cheap federal lands instead.
Cow Demons are ontologically incapable of making a good decision. They’re the worst political faction and use of land in Colorado, even including the evangelical death cult recruiting nuclear missile officers at the Air Force Academy. It’s very fitting that the most iconic American food is the most self-destructive thing we could eat.
Can we get a non paywalled option?

“An estimated 60 million bison once roamed the plains of North America before white settlers decimated the population. Bison were often hunted directly from trains after the construction of the American railroads in the 1800s.
The slaughter eventually reduced the population to just a few hundred in the 1880s. Thanks to conservation efforts, the population has now recovered to about half a million, the vast majority of which are privately owned. There are 420,000 commercially owned bison, compared to 20,500 in conservation herds.”
It’s a war between rich ranchers and rich conservationists. The Bison’s 🦬 existence, as it is indigenous, is an affront to European settlers that want European cattle herds to replace it and graze its native lands.
You mean killed by billionairs
Oh, not the onion…
Burgum’s friend, the Republican governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, celebrated the decision, promising to “stand with our farmers and ranchers against federal overreach”. He said: “We must ensure that public lands remain accessible and productive, rather than being locked away for the vision of special interests.”
What exactly does this bullshit mean? Are farmers going to be farming on federal land now?
