Sage grouse
The Review-Journal had a very good, common sense editorial in today’s paper about how to prevent the sage grouse from being listed as threatened or endangered by the feds.
Elko County has given the go-ahead to a pilot project at a 15,000-acre ranch in which wildfire fuel will be reduced by using cattle to graze the range and ravens will be killed with poisoned eggs, the editorial recounts, though it doesn’t appear the news columns of the paper even carried a mention of this project.
I couldn’t have said it better myself, though I’ve tried, as you can read here, here, here, here and here.
