First the BLM had to save the tortoise, then it was the millions owed for grazing cows, but the BLM slaughtered the cows!

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

Without cows how could the BLM account for the millions of grazing dollars "PER HEAD" if there are no heads?

 Just as the federal government needs no reason to take a man's property, the federal government feels no need to explain their actions to anybody.

 Mr. Reid, a US senator calls US (We the People) terrorists!

When will We the People act? What will be the spark that ignites the fire of REVOLUTION?

The public pot is bubbling with anger, where and when will it reach the boiling point?

BLM is “Saving the Tortoises”…But Look at What They Did to Bundy’s Cows

Forget all of the talk by the BLM about how they are “saving” animals. During the tense stand-off between Cliven Bundy, backed by his fellow patr... the rancher’s cattle were massacred by the BLM. These photos were just released and they show what those federal employees did to a bunch of cows who had the misfortune to be grazing on some grass that was in dispute.  The next time you hear some bleeding heart environmentalist talking about the federal government “protecting” the land and “saving” the animals, kindly direct them to this article.

The following photos were published on the Bundy Ranch Facebook page, where a spokesperson for the family, Andrew Allen, confirmed that the BLM did indeed shoot some of the rancher’s cattle and leave the carcasses there to rot and decay in the hot Nevada sun.

Very graphic. You’ve been warned.

True animal rights activists, aren’t they?  Everything they said about their reasoning was a lie.  They don’t care about the tortoises they were discussing protecting – in fact they euthanized hundreds of those tortoises last year.  The BLM announced that they had planned the euthanization because they were out of funds for the conservation center.

This, like everything else the government does, is about money and power. This is a gigantic land grab to line the pockets of the ever-slimy Senator Harry Reid and his son. They want to build a solar power station there. (read more HERE and HERE)

Creepy: BLM Leaves Behind Mass Grave for Cattle at Bundy Ranch

April 17, 2014 By Greg Campbell

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

The only known shots fired in the grazing feud between Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management came from federal agents or contractors who euthanized at least two bulls, Bundy’s son-in-law said Thursday.

That’s not counting other cattle that died of exhaustion and had to be put down, Bundy’s son-in-law Josh Logue said.

“There’s more dead that are dead through shot or … dehydration from running in the desert,” Logue said.

A BLM spokesman confirmed Thursday that two bulls had been killed during the agency’s weeklong roundup that ended Saturday with an armed standoff between supporters of rancher Cliven Bundy and federal agents.

The two bulls posed “a safety hazard,” said BLM spokesman Craig Leff, who didn’t elaborate on the circumstances.

The Bundy family has been critical of the agency’s roundup practices, saying it led to injured calves, slaughtered cows buried in holes and damaged water system equipment.

Bundy, for his part, criticized the work of the contracted out cowboys that did the work, pointing to the injuries and conditions as unprofessional.

“What kind of cowboy would treat animals like that?” Cliven Bundy asked Tuesday, as he showed a Review-Journal reporter around his ranch. “Only the contract cowboys low enough to work for the BLM.”

Bailey Bundy-Logue, 22, one of Bundy’s daughters, said the treatment of the cattle angered her.

“It was all wrong,” she said.

The BLM didn’t address the family’s claims of damage to the water troughs. The agency would not provide answers to questions about its next move after armed agents failed to enforce a court order that prompted the roundup.

State brand inspector officials did not respond to questions Thursday from the Review-Journal about whether there will be an investigation into the dead bulls. A deputy brand inspector from Las Vegas, however, said the bulls “might have got frightened but that’s no reason to shoot a bull.”

Occasionally they charge people and “sometimes they charge horseback riders,” said Don Bamberry, a deputy brand inspector the Nevada Department of Agriculture, who wasn’t at the scene.

Bamberry said it would “take a pretty good size weapon” to kill the special breed bulls that Bundy owns.

Bundy’s state brand certificate, which expires Dec. 31, 2015, is a “V over O” on the hip of his cattle.

Bamberry said in a typical cow-shooting situation, any violation would depend on if the animal had a brand.

“Was it somebody else’s property, which is worth a lot of money?” Bamberry said.

He said a bull that’s 4 or 5 years old would weigh between 1,200 to 1,500 pounds.

On the local market, a bull that size would be worth more than $2,500 based on the retail price of $4.29 per pound for a side of beef.

BLM officials have not said if the bulls that were euthanized had Bundy’s brand or any brand.

Bamberry described Bundy’s herd as “desert cattle,” and as a mixed-Brahman breed with “big ears” and fit for surviving in hot climates.

“They have a built-in hereditary trait. They don’t like people on their back. They make good broncin’ bulls. They’re a little ornery,” he said.

Bundy hasn’t paid federal grazing fees for the use of public land i... The BLM abruptly ended the roundup near Bundy’s ranch in Bunkerville, 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas on Saturday. The roundup was halted because of employee safety concerns. Federal agents released Bundy’s livestock after a brief standoff with protesters and armed militia members who rallied to support the rancher.

Government contracting records show the BLM inked a $966,000 contract in February for the roundup with Shayne Sampson of Sampson Livestock, based in Meadow, Utah.

It’s unclear how much money the company will get paid following the release of the cattle on Saturday to the Bundys. BLM officials didn’t respond to a request from the Review-Journal asking about the cost of the roundup. Before the roundup’s abrupt end after one week, officials had said the cost will be based on a variety of factors, including the duration of the roundup.

Shayne Sampson didn’t return a call for comment.

BLM tries to contact Cliven Bundy, but the rancher won’t take the message

y BEN BOTKIN
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

BUNKERVILLE — The Bureau of Land Management has tried to contact Cliven Bundy ever since the federal agency released the rancher’s cattle Saturday while facing a horde of protesters, but Bundy hasn’t opened any of the written messages.

His son, Ammon Bundy, said four certified letters from the BLM arrived at the ranch Tuesday. So far, the 67-year-old Bunkerville resident has chosen not to open the envelopes.

The word came Wednesday afternoon, when the Bundy family detailed property losses they said were caused by federal agents and BLM contract employees during the roundup. That includes unspecified numbers of dead cattle, the family said, and water trough equipment.

Ammon Bundy said the family has found what they believe is a grave with their cattle buried in it. They also said they found a bull carcass with at least one gunshot they believe was fired from the air, probably from a helicopter.

The Bundy battle with the BLM started two decades ago, when the family patriarch quit paying grazing fees to the agency. Cliven Bundy now owes about $1 million in back fees. He quit paying in a dispute with the agency over range restrictions intended to protect the threatened desert tortoise.

Federal court orders gave the BLM approval to start rounding up Bundy cattle on federal land. That started earlier this month but came to an abrupt halt on Saturday after tensions escalated into a standoff with Bundy’s supporters, some armed militia members.

The family estimated Wednesday that they have received about 350 head of cattle from the release on Saturday.

BLM spokesman Craig Leff would not comment Wednesday on the letters sent to Bundy. The agency also did not provide copies of the letters to the Review-Journal on Wednesday after the newspaper requested them or respond to Bundy family statements about damages to water equipment and dead and injured cattle.

After the cattle were released on Saturday, the BLM has said it would pursue other administrative and judicial remedies. Since then, the agency has refused to say what options are being considered in the wake of failing to enforce a federal court order.

Whatever the future may hold, Ammon Bundy expressed confidence that the national attention drawn by the issue will result in a better outcome in the court system, if it comes to that.

“The difference now is that we the people are watching, so now there’s a possibility that we can actually go through these courts and get the truth and the justice maybe because there’s so many people watching that a judge will be very careful … even if he is corrupt, and possibly we may get it right,” Bundy said.

On Wednesday, the Bundys were still assessing damages to water equipment and tallying numbers of dead and injured cattle, which they are documenting with photographs.

In a tour of his 160-acre ranch, Cliven Bundy showed the Review-Journal a 1-year-old bull calf with an injured leg.

“That animal, if he lives, he’ll be lucky,” Cliven Bundy said.

A brown calf — born in the BLM’s corral shortly before the agency released the cattle on Saturday — was at the ranch.

“We named her Liberty,” Ryan Bundy, 41, one of Cliven’s sons, said.

Among the damaged property on the public lands the family has used for range is a destroyed 12,000-gallon water tank. It was cut in pieces, Ryan Bundy said.

The water equipment system pulls water from mountain springs, using gravity flow and pipes to supply tanks, which then feed into troughs.

Ryan Bundy said the cows will find their way to water despite the equipment damage.

“Our cattle are smart,” Ryan Bundy said. “They’ll go to where they need.”

The hundreds of protesters who gathered over the weekend now number in the dozens. An armed security detail of volunteers still watches over the ranch house, stopping vehicles driving onto the property about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

Bevalyn Marshall, 52, and her husband, Larry Marshall, 67, are among those who still show up every day, making the drive from Scenic, Ariz. The federal government’s gotten way too big and needs to be “cut back to size,” Marshall said.

They plan to keep making the trek out, holding signs of protest along the highway and resting in the shade of a canopy.

“We’re going to keep it alive,” Bevalyn Marshall said. “We’re not going to let it die.”
