Anonymous Coward User ID: 41853420 United States 04/10/2014 04:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was wondering the same and I found this that explains it all. [link to www.foxnews.com] I'm quoting less than 50%. This will give you the idea thought the whole article is excellent. "The fight involves a 600,000-acre area under BLM control called Gold Butte, near the Utah border. The vast and rugged land is the habitat of the protected desert tortoise, and ranchers whose cattloe graze there must pay fees. Bundy, a descendant of Mormons who settled in Bunkerville more than 140 years ago, claims an inherent right to graze the area and casts the conflict as a states' rights issue. He said he doesn't recognize federal authority on land that he insists belongs to Nevada. "Mr. Bundy has been in trespass on public lands for more than 20 years," Cannon said, adding that he owes the federal government some $1.1 million in unpaid grazing fees." So what I understand is he stopped paying these grazing fees in 1993 stating that his ancestors the Mormons worked the land since the 1880s so in his opinion he owns the land he is living on and not the federal govt. This started 2 years ago when the feds tried to round up his cattle and since he has lost 2 federal lawsuits. |
