   This is another of the many reasons to eliminate this industry. However, I have to say that focusing on the corruption in an industry that shouldn’t exist to begin with is definitely not getting to the heart of the problem. Animal agriculture is unnatural and very ecologically harmful, and cattle grazing is the worst of it for a multitude of reasons. Eating wild meat is natural, but creating non-native animals like cattle and domestic sheep, then grazing them and destroying native ecosystems and habitats, along with their native inhabitants, by doing so is the height of immorality, and is totally inexcusable.

   I think that a much better strategy would be to expose young children children to native wildlife, both plants and animals, who are harmed by cattle grazing, then show them all the harms that cattle and domestic sheep cause. The 1960s movie The Legend of Lobo would be very good for this purpose. When kids were taught the dolphin/tuna fishing issue, they forcefully demanded that their parents stop buying tuna until that problem was addressed. This seems like a much more effective strategy than exposing corruption in the grazing industry, which is just likely to fall on deaf ears.

      I agree – but this new bunch in DC wants to get rid of education – nature and wildlife are completely unknown by them – actually THAT might be a good thing. The subsidies for logging, grazing, mining? I’m afraid its only going to get worse.
