    Complete, uncritical support for merking the worlds cattle ranchers. Like the Nuer and the Maasai get an exemption but the rest have to go.

      Cattle ranching absolutely destroyed the ecosystems of California, transforming oak savannah and riparian ecosystems into semi-arid grasslands in Los Angeles back in the 1830s. I still mald about what the ecosystems used to be.

      For example the Los Angeles River which had a reputation of changing courses wildly every single year (it destroyed Compton at least 14 times and had its river mouth shift from Santa Monica, to Long Beach, to Manhattan Beach, to back to Long Beach again) used to be far more managed in its natural original state, in that the Los Angeles River flowed so evenly over the Los Angeles river valley that it had no river mouth it just distributed itself even across the entire landscape supporting a large population of beavers, trout, salmon, wolves and bears.
