[LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL] The only known shots fired in the grazing feud between Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management came from federal agents or contractors who euthanized at least two bulls, Bundy's son-in-law said Thursday.
That's not counting other cattle that died of exhaustion and had to be put down, Bundy's son-in-law Josh Logue said.
"There's more dead that are dead through shot or ... dehydration from running in the desert," Logue said.
A BLM spokesman confirmed Thursday that two bulls had been killed during the agency's weeklong roundup that ended Saturday with an armed standoff between supporters of rancher Cliven Bundy and federal agents.
The two bulls posed "a safety hazard," said BLM spokesman Craig Leff, who didn't elaborate on the circumstances.
Mr.Leff and his BLM cohorts are the only "safety hazard" as far as I am concerned. |
