Has anyone ever been around a bunch of ranchers and listen to them talk about environmental groups, environmentalists and organizations like defenders of wildlife? I belong to all those groups. And I’m supposed to be nice to these same people?Has anyone ever been around a bunch of ranchers and listen to them talk about environmental groups, environmentalist and organizations like defenders of wildlife?
The ranchers make fun of these people and horrible ways, and call them liars when the environmentalists are usually right.

I live in ranching country and the bumper stickers on all the pickups are really horrible nasty ones making fun of every environmental group and vegetarians and PETA, and anyone that might point out the truth of the ranching business

I belong to all those groups. And I’m supposed to be nice to these people who constantly lie and make fun of environmental groups? And most of them support Donald Trump on top of that.

Northern and western Colorado is in the midst of the gray wolf reintroduction with plenty of commentary from ranchers and urbanites. Just imagine if bison were reintroduced to the western landscape.
