quote [ When in doubt, shoot holes and draw dicks, for Freedom! Other petroglyph sites have been shot up by gunfire or chipped off and removed altogether. William Anderson, the former tribal chairman of the Moapa Band of Paiutes, said, “I couldn’t believe someone would do that … It was surprising that people had no respect for our culture and our people.” Anderson recently traveled to Washington DC to lobby for protection of Gold Butte, which is currently designated an “Area of Critical Environmental Concern”; many would prefer even stronger protection. ]
Depressing, I know, but the previous post about the damage done speculated on how the damages could be in the millions of dollars.

It should be noted this article isn't about the occupation and vandalism of the Malheur Refuge in Oregon, it's about the ongoing vandalism and abuse around the Gold Butte federal lands near the Bundy ranch in Nevada. Actually it's a lot worse, it covers a wider area and has been going on now for a couple of years.

it's from a website in farsi which is written and read from right to left. I was about to change it but I felt it's nice to have a different views on things.

So we were right! They do love dicks!
