It’s hard to imagine how the 2014 federal effort to impound Cliven Bundy’s cattle could have gone any worse, but environmentalists are demanding that the Bureau of Land Management go back and try it again.
Days after a federal judge threw out the case against Mr. Bundy and two of his sons, environmental groups urged Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to remove the family’s cattle from the property near Bunkerville, Nevada.
“We urge Interior not to leave this business unfinished. Time is of the essence,” reads the letter to Mr. Zinke on Wednesday. “Interior must round up these cattle to ensure that a pattern of lawlessness backed up by violence does not perpetuate itself across the public lands of the Western U.S.”
In response, Bundy attorney Larry Klayman replied: “I would say, make our legal day.”
Perhaps the only silver lining from the 2014 Nevada standoff was that it didn’t end in bloodshed after hundreds of Bundy supporters descended on the ranch, prompting the BLM to cancel its effort to impound 400 head of cattle over Mr. Bundy’s refusal to pay federal grazing fees.
Environmentalists slammed Mr. Bundy as a lawbreaker engaged in “illegal grazing on public lands,” while Mr. Klayman blasted them as “vicious leftist vigilantes that have no respect for ordinary folk or ranchers like Cliven Bundy.”

Zinke's not a liberal stooge. He's a SEAL.
I say no more beef or dairy for any left leaning zealots. Let them eat cake...or sprouts or plankton.

Something these liberal retards just don't understand.
First, Las Vegas is right down the highway from that land.
Second, people in Vegas want steak, ribs, and filet mignon.
Third, one single cow needs many acres of grazing in the arid desert land that is in question.
Fourth, Nevada and Clark County dole out water rights to ranchers so the livestock grazing 20 or 20 miles out can have water ro drink.
Fifth, Nevada requires the ranchers to use those rights or lose them, so dig wells and pump water.
With that said, who is the property owner in this situation?
Answer: Nevada and Clark County.
Just think of what the title, "Bureau of Land MANAGEMENT" means?
It means they manage land for an owner of that land.
One landlord is all there can be.
And the zealots will give you the freedom from healthcare that you want. Heart attack? Pick yourself up by your bootstraps and get over it. No social security. No public roads. None of that liberal bs eh?
