[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 275861, member: 4362"] Prairie Fairies is a term we use for the environmentalists who want to keep the wildlife free from human interference. They don't want grazing on public lands or anything on public land for that matter. Grazing public lands does not concern me, but the few times I've been able to go out west - I liked seeing cows wandering around on the public lands. I think its our heritage and I would help fight to maintain any ranchers right or privilege to continue doing this. I'm going to digress here but I have an example of something you might find interesting. You know the environmental group friends for animals or maybe it was the wildlife defense fund - their the ones with the baby seal on their brochures. Anyway, they hired a professor I know to study the effects the fur trade was having on the seal population. He found that the "clubbing of seals" was actually having a positive effect on the population since more food was being made available to more baby seals. When the Fishing Treaty with Japan ended in 1967(?), the harp seal population declined due to the overfishing of the cape lin - the primary food eaten by the baby seals. He suggested that the government renew the treaty. Well wouldn't you know, the fairies didn't like his results and sent some "fairies" out on the ice with clubs and filmed themselves bashing heads in intentionally making the process look gruesome for the cameras. Donations to the cause increased exponentially after the airing of this "scientific documentary" and they turned the professor's data upside down. He was miffed to say the least. [/QUOTE]
