The US government IS subsidizing ranchers!

"Welfare Ranching: The Subsidized Destruction of the American West"

I am talking in this specific case.

In Washington state, ranchers are subsidized. They are allowed to graze their cattle on public land for free, and when wolves kill their cattle, Washington state Fish and Wildlife uses helicopters to kill the wolves at over $1,000/hour cost to taxpayers.

They are killing the Profanity Peak pack as we speak because a rancher refused to not let his cattle graze unmonitored right next to their den. Why should I have to pay because some rancher refuses to move his cattle to some other land he also doesn't have to pay to use?

I am once again telling you my statement was about my proposal. I am not talking about any other aspect of ranching.

That is completely insane, I can't believe us taxpayers in Washington State are massively subsidizing these ranchers. Letting them graze their cattle for free on public lands is a huge giveaway, but then to kill part of the environment cause they wanna graze without supervision is a massive wrong.
