Bison skulls used for fertilizer, 1870.
Bears Ears National Monument The picture above shows not much has happened between 1870 and today re our respect for Gaia. Although ignorant yahoos aren't shooting buffaloes from passing trains anymore, our new government has taken it upon itself to take up where they left off with a more devastating tool: a pen. Trump is currently running roughshod over a hundred years of laws to protect our flora and fauna with his gleeful signing of legislation to open up our national parks and monuments to the greedy bastards on Wall Street. As an example, his wild-eyed Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke seems to be on a Presidential butt-kissing effort to please his master by gutting protections on the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. But this is just one of many proposals to destroy the protections for all of our National Monuments. It is estimated that if Trump gets his way, over a billion acres of land are up for exploitation by Big Oil and others. If this makes you sick and you want to do something about it, the easiest and safest way is to support groups like Friends of the Earth Action by donating what you can to The Cause.
