This latest news just reinforces the fact that these agencies cannot be trusted, and require constant scrutiny by the public. After all, the Forest Service was really a grazing service early. Thanks for this information.

A grazing and logging service. People are shortsighted when it comes to acquisition of money and power. With only modest understanding of their surroundings, the consequences of their actions, and the expected future conditions, they follow their emotions, their fear and their appetite. They gather material wealth and they procreate. Sentience without wisdom (i.e. intelligence) was such a big fat evolutionary blunder.
