  1. Mike says:

    Hmm…isn’t it the feedgrounds themselves that allow the elk to get these sort of diseases?

  2. This is a pathetic attempt to pretend they can keep the feedgrounds and not have disease. Political denial.

  3. Ron says:

    Feed grounds are a disservice to our elk populations.

Quote

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

~ Edward Abbey
