VOTE AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT INCREASES HARM TO PUBLIC LANDS & WILDLIFE

A number of bills are currently moving through Congress that hold very real threats to America's public lands and the wildlife that live there.  Domestic cattle that graze on our public lands are causing serious harm to sensitive ecosystems, and threaten wildlife and their habitat - directly and indirectly - as well as water quality.  Public lands cattle grazing is one of the most destructive and heavily subsidized industries in the U.S., with taxpayers footing the bill for cattle producers to cover the land with barbed wire fences so they can infest fragile ecosystems with invasive cows that run amok, eating and trampling everything in sight.  Countless wildlife species - including those protected under the Endangered Species Act - are shot, poisoned, trapped, hazed, or otherwise killed and abused to sterilize our public lands to appease cattle producers, all at U.S. taxpayer expense. The greatest cost is the harm to the land and her animals.
