How did we have wildlife before we had ranchers?
Some truth in that, but the view holds everything else as static. Cows simply replaced bison (and prairie dogs to some degree) on the NA landscape. Bison tended to practice "take half, leave half", which ranchers are just starting to figure out. Maybe the number of bison tags would increase?
Got to have a place with space to build these.

Raise the number of bison tags all you want, but if these crafty critters don't want to leave the Park, you are SOL.Some truth in that, but the view holds everything else as static.

there you have it folks! we now know it, from 406 himself! wealth = knowing what is the healthiest best thing for mankind. rich people always seem to steer mankind for purely mankinds benefit
how did that work out for enriched white bread? i wasn't around, but i bet a lot of wealthy people were saying it was gonna be the healthy cheaper smarter alternative
yeah synthetic protein will probably be the future and will probably be cheaper. but has the cheaper solution to nutrition really EVER been the most nutritious and healthy? i think that's where this movement is all wrong and i will confidently call bill gates delusional for thinking so
Look at what happened in California when they diverted so much of the water to the big cities. Things dried up in a big hurry. It's the ranchers maintaining the reservoirs and water holes out west and making sure that the water stays where it is and the wildlife benefit from that. Back before the ranchers, as you mention, there was a much more even distribution of water because it wasn't being used in such concentrated quantities at certain locations as it is now. The need for beef is what keeps the ranchers on that land and keeps it all from being appropriated and sucked dry. As for the reservoirs and current water supplies, who is going to take care of that if ranchers aren't on public lands? They seal reservoir bottoms to hold water, manage river and stream crossings, maintain roads, and manage the grazing, and pay for the privilege to do so I might add. Do you really want to leave that in the hands of the government? Look at how well they manage everything else. Who is going to pay for that? Do you want to pay a 'water, grazing and road management' tax in every tag you buy? In the short term, a year after removing cattle from the range you might see more elk there. But how many elk will you see in ten years when the water holes have all dried up, in twenty years when thousands of acres have gone up in flames?
People that eat real meat (hunters for example) should care.
I recognized that my post was unclear and modified it to be more clear.
It is easy to speculate what will happen to ranchers, But as a hunter I am more concerned when people like Gates start to insist we use synthetic meat instead of barbaric hunting for our protein.
Ever given any thought to maybe damming rivers, creating reservoirs (all subsidized by TAX PAYERS), really isn't the best place to ranch and farm?
So is this not news because it’s on twitter. Forbes magazine is a well respected news source. Where do you get your news?
This isn't about poor countries that eat insects for protein. This is about Bill wanting the wealthy countries to stop eating beef. And you seem to support his vision for some reason.
QAnon said that the wildfires in California were caused by scientific lasers owned by a certain religion.... which I'll hold my tongue on because I don't want to hurt any feelings.
