Earth haters triggered by bison grazing on public lands

Through the Bureau of Land Management We the People have granted a permit to American Prairie (APR) to allow 1,000 bison grazing on some three million acres near Malta, Montana connected with corridors to a half million acres of private ground.

But Earth haters are apoplectic.
The Montana Attorney General, said in a formal statement that he had held a listening session and also submitted comments to the BLM. He is not in agreement with the decision. “After shutting out public input from local communities, it’s not a surprise that President Biden’s Bureau of Land Management would rubber-stamp this radical proposal that is another step toward displacing northeast Montana’s livestock industry and replacing it with a large outdoor zoo. My office is reviewing the decision closely to determine our next steps to protect ranchers and ensure the State’s interests are upheld.” [TriState Livestock News]
During the last legislative session Montana Republicans even tried to stifle free enterprise in a state where freedom is paramount and Realtors® are capitalizing on racist paranoia amid Herr Trump’s calls for the End Times.

Extremely critical grassland fire danger will affect nearly every Republican county on the High Plains from Nebraska to Canada again today.

In Montana the state Division of Livestock governs bison management but says bison aren't livestock. Judge rules American Prairie can keep buffalo on BLM ground for now: source.

Montana officials like Governor Greg Gianforte argue that if a group is raising bison for conservation or "rewilding" rather than traditional meat/commercial production, those animals shouldn't count as standard production livestock. The BLM declared that conservation-oriented bison are not domestic livestock under the Taylor Grazing Act because they are not "production-oriented" operations.

"District Court Judge Brian Morris issued a scathing 29-page rebuke to the Trump administration’s interpretation of the 1934 Taylor Grazing Act it had used to exclude American Prairie."
