One rancher, one er even went outside of Oregon in his life. Anotner woman called Yellowstone “wasted space”, and every time she saw buffalo there, she saw “steak”. :
“They visited Yellowstone National Park and saw, they said, two million acres of natural resources gone to waste. “At least one day a year,” Robin said, “we ought to be able to go in and take advantage.”
Emily thought the trees were too close together. “Didn’t look healthy,” she said, “because they don’t log.”
“And look at all those buffalo,” Robin said. “Can’t some of them be used for meat?”
“You wanted to eat them?” I said.
“I was looking at the buffalo and just seeing a steak,” she said.”
These people think the land is there to use as they wish, as if it is the 1800s.imagine if thousands went there for ...steak, how many buffalo would be left?
Worth reading, to understand the mindframe of these people who have not been touched by the Century they live in.
