Facts are Kathyet...facts you are running on emotion. He had his permit revoked in 1998 which means he was in a contract with the federal government, not Nevada. He voluntarily entered into a contract with the federal government WHICH means he gave them the right to collect grazing fees from him. It has been
stated over and over he had been paying the BLM and stopped, so he was in a contract with them. When they go after him it will not be about the tortoise I guarantee you, it will be about the grazing fees he owes. Do you think any of us would get away with not paying our taxes for 20 years. I do not agree with the government on what they are doing but CLIVEN started the whole stupid thing himself by voluntarily entering a contract WITH the federal government. Money trumps the tortoise or any animal every time with the government and that is what they will go for with Cliven. People need to get a clue and get their facts straight . It stated with grazing fees and has escalated into government thugs surrounding his property and confiscating cows and protestors being there to protect him. Quit screaming at me in red and do some research into grazing fees. I PERSONALLY KNOW ranchers who use BLM land and it is all about the fees.
