    This is so sad.

    Will the Humboldt-Toiyabe forest Ruby Ranger District allow domestic sheep to yet again be turned out into the Ruby Mountains into bighorn habitat?

    Folks should contact Ranger Gar Abbas, and ask him to stop this. There is ONE sheep operation. An operation that grazes in a lot of other areas, too.

    Ban sheep from the Forest.

‎"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."
