Used barbed wire for sale
For sale ... America’s national security ...and to make the deal better, if you buy within the next 10 minutes, we will include gently used Texas-made barbed wire, steel fence sections and a vacation voucher for a hotel room next to a dark alleyway contaminated with fentanyl from our neighbors to the south and west. This deal will not last long as 10 MILLION new residents will soon be looking to secure the areas around their tents and free taxpayer domiciles as they await their court dates in seven years. So act now. Brought to you by the progressive, socialist left.
Mark Vincent Bishop The state does not have the funds to pay off the federal loan, which continues to grow to potentially a billion dollars over the next two years. All this adds to increased taxes for the employers. This leads to more unemployment. Where does the money come from? Personal income taxes increased. Highway taxes increased and not used for highway repairs. School budgets attached and reduced. County budgets strained, no more grants. STRESSFUL TIMES AHEAD.
Carl Hoelscher Bishop totaling over a thousand deer. Given the above predation rates, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the problem.
Our Sierra bighorns are taking major hits by non predation that is well documented by COFW. Local lion populations are the highest they’ve been for decades. The Sierra bighorn recovery program does have the perceived ability to relocate lions that are proven to be preying on bighorns. Unfortunately, it takes too long to get state approval by the time the Mountain Lion Foundation and others approve the request. Meanwhile the culprit lion has killed several other sheep before formal approvals arrive. This cumbersome process has got to be fixed so managers can deal with problem lions in a timely and effective manner.
Californians, with their infinite wisdom, afforded mountain lions complete state protection by passing legislation in the early 1990s. It’s time to wake up, take off the rose-colored glasses, get away from the emotional biopolitics of lion management, and get back to science-based mountain lion management. If we don’t turn the tide on this lion issue, our Eastern Sierra deer and Sierra bighorns are in realistic danger of being eradicated.
A large segment of our local citizens recognize the problems stated above. The rest of California is unaware of our dilemma. Somehow, we have got to get the word out to even potentially create solutions to our deer and bighorn problems. I never thought I would have to advocate for mule deer survival given their history of being so resilient. But here we are!
