Wild Horse round-up by the BLM: Slaughter or Salvation?

Are Wild Horse round-ups the smart thing, the right thing, the humaine thing?

I would like to hear some pros as all I know are cons. But someone who says something other than 'bleeding hearts are crazy'

Desolation~

It's not clear to me what you meant in your reply. But, Perhaps my attempt at humor fell flat. Please, Let me try again: Many capitol investments take more than 2 years to pay back. Some investments NEVER pay back, are still worth it. Sometimes the pay back is relative. Applying an absolute time line (of 2 years) to an investment might be ill-advised. Individual circumstances must be considered.

We have several 15 ft or taller trees in my back yard. We cut down a dying 30 year old tree Which gave us sun exposure for panels and a sunny place in my front yard for a veg garden. We live in 1000 sq ft for 2 adults. I work in the house, he works not 5 miles away. Rainy PDX has better sun than Germany.

I don't want arrays in a delicated desert eco-system.

Every place to be looked at individually.

Not black and white, all or nothing solutions.

Solar is not for everyone. It is a good plan for us.

If you Q is: Is the CSZ what makes the Cascades? Yes, in that plate techtonics is pushing them both CSZ goes under the North American plate, but not smoothly and the friction causes wrinkles we see as the Cascades. Like pushing your toe under a rug, the rug bunches up (Cascades), then springs over your toe (which is now sud-ducted)

I'd like to hear a show about PDX earthquake and other disaster relief preparedness. "Water for 72 hours" is not enough. If we have a 'quake, and the roads are broken up, when do you think "someone" will get to you ? The airport will go under, 911 will be over whelmed and landslides. Do you want to wait days or do you want to know how to do something for yourself. And what we as neighbors can do about preparedness and taking care of our selves and neighbors. And what will you do if you aren't at home or work when it happens. We aren't as ready as you think. And Good Sam laws about helping.
You could ask someone from POEM and the PFD and PDX PREPARED.
