Sorry, I think there should be very few. One... Not native. Two.... Where there are they tear up the land... Changing the vegetation and running out native wildlife....

Ahh other than the lead photo there is zero mention of horses. The appointee is in favor of removing protections on most wildlife and feels that all national property should be sold.The wild horses in the leading picture, heheh.
I can only read about 10 sec then WP throws their add to pay.... Which I won't.... Saw wildlife and figured it was Roundup time.. whatever.... I still wouldn't get excitedI’m not sure what you’re saying.
I actually thought Zinke was a decent choice for the position, but of course he was run out of office over some sort of conspiracy, I can't even remember what it was. I figured he would be replaced with someone much less balanced and extreme, and it looks like I was right in thinking so.
At the time Zinke was appointed I thought there were much worse possibilities but he ended up being awful and was run out of office for being massively corrupt and repeatedly using public funds for personal stuff.I actually thought Zinke was a decent choice for the position, but of course he was run out of office over some sort of conspiracy, I can't even remember what it was.

Pendley has been nominated as head of BLM land ripe for exploitation as it doesn’t get the attention that National parks and forests do.Conspiracy? Zinke has a history of shady conflicts of interests throughout his political career that did not end with his Interior Dept appointment, not to mention his decision to sell out UT's monuments for mineral extraction in opposition to recommendations of his own staff and the vast majority of public comments. Zinke was replaced by lobbyist David Bernhardt, btw, not Pendley.
Exactly, a lot of it land that most people see as barren and therefore fail to see the beauty or benefit of preserving it.Reminder that BLM manages 34M acres of National Conservation Area.
I'm genuinely curious if you just think this is just another case of people overreacting, which would be fair if we didn't have much info on Pendley? Or that he doesn't have that much power? That there's too much bureaucracy for anything actually damaging to happen? Cause the dude has dedicated his career to a fundamental belief that there should be no federally owned land.I can only read about 10 sec then WP throws their add to pay.... Which I won't....

Consider that in 1829 we also had slavery women weren’t allowed to vote child labor was taken for granted.I'm genuinely curious if you just think this is just another case of people overreacting, which would be fair if we didn't have much info on Pendley?

From the horse's mouth in a NR op-ed in 2016 (and no paywall!): The Federal Government Should Follow the Constitution and Sell Its Western Lands
"The Founding Fathers intended all lands owned by the federal government to be sold...
in 1829, “the West” was Illinois — where 99.9 percent of the land was federally owned; residents called that “oppressive” and unconstitutional, not unlike what is heard from the American West today. Within a few years, the United States performed its constitutional duty in Illinois where now it owns less than 2 percent of the Land of Lincoln. It is hardly surprising that westerners think they should be treated likewise."
I mean, if Illinois is the model we're striving for, I think it's fair to be concerned.
Remember what the moderates said about Bill Barr... The Trump admin brings out the very worst in people, many bad to begin with.
