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.”
Right, because ranchers aren't their own special interest group. 🙄
Farmers / ranchers are the true welfare queens.
montana is basically "sustained" on farms, despite less than 1mil people live there.
Omg, any more info on this photo?
You could probably reverse search it but it's just two buffalo hunters standing on a pile of skulls. Impressive, yet standard wild west shit. That photo is in a lot of books and on a lot of websites.
Yeah, I just did a quick search that turned this up as the most likely place to find more info
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bison_skull_pile,_ca1870.png
but I've seen this photo probably hundreds of times in a bunch of different textbooks and articles over the years
America killed all of the buffalo to starve the indigenous. It was part of the genocide and the manifest destiny colonial expansion project
Industrial scale hunting with the "convenient side effect" of destroying the primary food source for the native population - thus making it easier to expand and occupy the land.
No convenience about it. General Sherman is "accredited" for hunting them with explicit intent of starving the Native Americans.
Yep it was genocide for manifest destiny
its from the 1800s, where they massacred the great bison herd of the plains. they were originally on the brink of extinction.
I saw this photo in person last week at a museum in Dodge City, Kansas. Man will exploit any and all resources with little regard for the consequences.
The bison fur coat from the 1800s was neat though.
Having seen a herd of these alive and up close once, I would like to encourage our courageous and mighty president to do it himself in person. Alone. Well maybe with some live video feeds so we can all watch his Herculean efforts. While eating popcorn.
"deport"
These absolute ass warts can't even keep enough cattle in stock to keep GROUND FUCKING BEEF under $4 a pound and they still want to take over the "cheap federal land" (their words) from the native goddamn animals.
FOR WHAT? DICKS. YOU WON'T EVEN RAISE ENOUGH CATTLE TO FEED US ON THE GODDAMN GROUND YOU ALREADY CONTROL.
Fuck this shit.
edit:
This group the American Prairie Reserve: They intended to purchase 500k acres and then take control of the leases of BLM graze to the tune of 3 million acres for the bison. So yeah, this is just Montana cattlepricks kicking the "stupid eco-trash" out of Montana.
Fuuuuuuck, I will never spend a single dime in that state.
we also import alot of our beef too, if you want good quality ones, you would want the imported kind.
And I learn about this bullshit on David Attenborough's birthday, what a shame.
Paywall
the european WISENT(bison) is equally endangered.
You mean , shot by billionaires
