Faine - as usual blanket statements are always wrong. My father was a life-long US Forest Service professional and the use of grazing on Forest Service land was done for the benefit of the land/forest as well as the ranchers; * control non-native plants * control undergrowth (wildfire prevention)

* fertilizing soil (yes, manure) * thinning overgrown vegetation w/o controlled burning. It's *rotational grazing* and is done for the benefit of the forest, the cattle (shade in hot summer months) & owners. As with any system, it has to be managed well. That is certainly a subject for debate.

Ranchers should try being less ontologically evil if they want anyone to care tbh (Surely there are ways to do this kind of grazing work without subsidizing the worst and most entitled demographic of worthless-ass American MAGAs, no?)

Ranchers are overwhelmingly demonic ticks on the ass of American society, and I long to see the day they’re all forced to get real jobs instead of spending their days mass-murdering wildlife and squealing and pissing about the same federal government that he hugely subsidizes their nasty lives

“but where will the beef come from?” surely we can find ways to remake a beef production system that doesn’t involve immense welfare payments to feral chud-beasts. I believe in us

also beef is like the worst meat there is, climate-wise. We probably should be eating less of it. hell, i like the idea of lab-grown beef to reduce the power of ranchers.

Beef totally existed before the current ranching system, and it can absolutely exist after it. And in a much less destructive and more sustainable way.

nice federal public land you have there, for my 250,000 head of cattle to poop on! —triumph the insult comic rancher

Hear me out: car dealership owners

I fucking hate them too although I’m not sure I’d classify them as rural

how about alfalfa farmers in the desert
