Military raids against farmers in Texas. Cowboys don't give up!
The standoff between Texas farmer Cliven Bundy and federal agencies trying to take his cattle has escalated into a national event.
For two decades, there has been a struggle between the federal government and Cliven Bundy, who grazes his livestock on abandoned desert lands like his Mormon ancestors, which at one point became illegal.
Under the pretext of protecting desert turtles, the Bureau of Land Management (BUZM) banned the grazing of native animals, which led to a constant wave of conflicts that subsequently led to a serious clash.
Bundy says he has rights to herd cattle on the land, as his Mormon family settled there in the 19th century. He stopped paying grazing fees and neglected court orders.
Officials at BUZM say Bundy now owes more than $1.1 million for unpaid grazing fees.
Bundy sued, a long-running case, but Washington eventually announced to him that either he was paying or the government was taking the cows and the farm. As a result of a military operation (with the use of army helicopters), cows were captured and killed. The farm is now surrounded by federal and state police, rangers, the FBI and the National Guard.
¶
Bundy is now 67 years old and his entire extended family has rushed to defend his rights.
On Friday, a huge tent town of militias grew up on a picturesque pasture near Bundy Ranch. Everyone was horrified when BUZM police used a shock weapon on one of Bundy's adult sons during a face-to-face bet on a state highway near Bundy melon farm in the Gold Hill area.
The video went viral online, and farmers from across the country began flocking to Bundy Ranch to protest.
“I see a lot of passionate Americans standing up for important rights,” said Nevada Legislature Representative Michel Fiore.
Many cars in Nevada have "Federal Parasites" on them.
In addition, environmentalists write that the entire conflict is due to shale gas.
This may be one of the main reasons why municipal public lands are transferred to the federal government without any public consultation.
