Re “Clinton Tries to Beef Up Cattle Market,” May 1:
President Clinton told the Agriculture Department to open environmentally sensitive land (Forest Service land) for grazing. “We have to do it quickly. We can’t fool around,” he said at the start of a meeting with members of Congress from ranching states.
No, no, no, Mr. Clinton. This land is our land, not yours to give away to a few ranchers who will destroy our heritage. Grazing fragile public land will destroy streams, limit fishing and hunting for the general public as well as defiling land for the benefit of a few subsidized ranchers.
Doesn’t Clinton have any sense, at all, of the environment? He can beef up the price of cattle by eating more Big Macs. But leave something for my grandchildren.
