P.S.: Wolves were killed off
some 75 years ago and that
hasn't changed the balance of
nature, except to increase the
numbers of game animals. When
Capt. Fremont came through
here in the mid 1840's he noted
the lack of game animals and, if
my information is correct, had to
buy dogs to eat from the Indians.
So what difference in nature's
balance would happen if snails,
slugs and salamanders went
extinct?

NY Times ad filled with
distortions, half truths
To the Editor:
Please find enclosed a copy of
an ad that appeared in the New
York Times on 10-4-99. My
daughter lives in New York City
and she knows of my interest in
things environmental, so she
sent to me the full page. Because
of my copier's limitations. I've
had to piece together the full text
of the ad.
This ad is filled with half truths
and distortions. It is obvious
that it is designed to sway voters
and Congress to further restrict
ranching. These environmental
groups are attempting another
"blindside"
effort in the
populous eastern cities where
voters know nothing about
ranching,
about
species
extinction, about salmon, spotted
owls, etc., etc. So they will
believe a lot of these distortions
and half truths.
The purpose of this letter and
ad copy is to alert you folks and
especially the ranchers in
Morrow County to speak up and
let the big city voters know the
facts and hopefully destroy the
credibility
of
these
environmental groups. I would
hope
that
