[RC] How tree hugging hurts the environment - Marlene Moss
My husband’s family lives in Steamboat Colorado and have
lived there far longer than the hippy/tree huggers. The tree huggers are trying
to restrict the use of cattle on BLM land, trying to buy up land so that it can’t
be used and to leave it “pristine”. Well, anyone who knows
Steamboat knows how fast and big things grow there. So what’s happened
is that the undergrowth is totally out of control and a single lightening
strike could cause a fire that would be devastating to plant, animal and
humans. Naturally, fires are supposed to happen to clear out the
undergrowth, but no one, not even the tree huggers, are going to vote to just
allow the fires to burn. So the cattle can actually play an important
role in keeping the overall environment safe. This is one of those topics
that are not safe to bring up at the dinner table!!!
