@coloradosun welfare ranchers on public land in the west produce 2% of Americans total beef production and alfalfa is sucking the Colorado River dry. The writing has been in the wall for decades They can learn to adapt like the rest of us and stop being subsidized to destroy public land #deadpool #cowboymyth #Bundy #rewild #graywolf #WildlifeServices #BLM #westernwater #basinstates @WesternWatershedsProject
