Hope Ryden's letter represents the fairly typical viewpoint of a city person
(I assume from her address that she does live in a city) who has no
understanding of the issue, but is reacting on emotional basis.  Being in
the cattle business, albeit on our own land, I rather resent people who
blame all bad things happening in the open spaces on the "greedy cattlemen."
If this woman truly had an insight of what cattlemen go through to put food
on our tables, and perhaps her own as well, she might not speak in such
harsh terms.  How is it we all hear how "greedy" are the people who harvest
the things we need (oil, food, timber, minerals) from the land, yet the
critical ones drive cars, eat food, live in wooden houses, and have concrete
sidewalks.    Grumble, grumble......  Don't get me
started.....................
