Bush admin alters science to support expanded grazing on public lands In developing new proposed regulations for cattle grazing on public lands, the Bush administration intentionally obscured the damage grazing causes, according to two government scientists. Erick Campbell and Bill Brookes, both recently retired from the Bureau of Land Management, determined in an environmental impact statement that the new rules, which would increase grazing on 160 million acres of public land, would harm water resources and wildlife, including endangered species. But in the statement accompanying the newly released regulations, lo, the science has been transformed. The rules, which once would have had a "significant adverse impact," are now "beneficial to animals." (Well, cows are animals, we suppose.) They would restrain BLM staffers from acting quickly to limit grazing that's damaging land; lengthy studies would now be required instead. And public input on grazing decisions would no longer be mandated, merely allowed. While a BLM official calls the changes part of the agency's standard review process, Campbell and Brookes are dismayed. "They rewrote everything," says Campbell. "It's a crime." straight to the source: Los Angeles Times, Julie Cart, 18 Jun 2005

place of mist and trees, in a place of open land and brilliant
moonlight, in a time and space far beyond our creation or
knowledge. Aware, alert, in touch with the rhythm of the earth,
they lived in a place we never knew, that we could never imagine.
Their hoof beats thundered across the plains. Their cries echoed
through the valley. In vast herds, in small family groups, they
dwelled in a world removed from humans, in a world unto themselves.

What it must have been like for that first human encounter! Gentle,
inquisitive, brave, that lone stallion that walked through the
morning fog and stood before the hunter. Did the hunter stand in
awe of his beauty, unprepared for the encounter, unknowing of all
that stood before him? Did the hunter lay down his spear and walk
gently toward the stallion? Did the stallion walk toward the
hunter? Did they greet one another as equals, two spirits born of
freedom?
