If this goes SOUTH, where it looks like it is going....
and this is why....
Point Reyes Elk Herd
A lot of American Beef and dairy product (not fresh milk of course) is shipped overseas. It might not be these ranchers and dairy farmers in particular, but if it is, I want them to feel my outrage. I'm on a road to find out where their product goes.
The Tule Elk subspecies once ranged across the Central Valley. They almost became extinct, and were down to 10 individuals due to Market Hunters, when rescued. That was when they were introduced to the Peninsula they now inhabit, as well as various other sites.
In an odd twist of fate, we have a Rancher to thank for saving them when he recognized their plight.
This reminds me not to condemn all Ranchers as destructive. I actually like ranches but I don't think they should have the last word. And certainly not in something this important. Illegal killings take place as it is. That's a big empty country up there. I don't want to subsidize the death of a California Icon for more beef cattle. They aren't natives at ALL! They are an English breed, and they are now all over the American landscape....they are everywhere.

Good for you! I find it odd that people are always having to eat meat, anyhow. We've been limiting our meat consumption to once a week and are very picky about where we buy it.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, just checking in to see how you are. Hope there aren't any fires near you :-(
Hugs, Karen
We are also very picky about the little that we eat. But Beef is forever off the menu. It's just too destructive to the planet, and abhorrent in the methods of raising it and bringing it to market. Ten Thousand UGHS!
DeleteKaren, so good to hear from you! And....
DeleteThank you for thinking of my family.
The fires this time are so far all in central and Northern California. Our electric company has been shutting down rural services in this county when the winds are high. We've had a disastrous fire in December/January in our county, so we can have then any time of the year.
