I heard the rancher himself in a radio interview here in Vegas yesterday.
He brought up some good points:
1. His family have grazed their cattle there since 1887.
2. The land is NOT federal land. It is "owned" by Clark County.
3. He has paid his "grazing fees" to Clark County every year.
4. The BLM is using a tortoise as the excuse for this land grab.
5. The tortoise in question has lived in harmony with cattle for hundreds of years
6. The BLM themselves euthanized 1000 of these "endangered" tortoises because their population growth is out of control.
I found all of this to be very interesting. And also very interesting that our senator Harry Reid has his hands all in it for his cronies.
Not only is he pushing this...but the new head of the BLM worked for Harry Reid.
Just follow the money and you'll see quickly why the feds have sent in an army to drive cattle ranchers off of land that belongs to Nevada.
