Oregan Rancher Standoff Refelction

The Oregan Standoff seems strange to me. The leader of the standoff says that he is taking the land and using it to help the environment when really he is taking the area and ruining the land for the animals and plants that are there. They say that they like the environment when they are actually ruining it which seems very strange in my opinion. They shouldn't even had taken the land in the first place as well. They take the land to go against the government when really they are going against the people who live near there and want to see the sanctuary. If anything they are just ruining themselves with this strategy and putting themselves into a grave.

Even the ranchers who were accused of burning a forest (who the ranchers have stolen the sanctuary for) have not done much that should make the other ranchers fall in love with them for. There is almost no reason that the farmers should have taken that land. Even when you take into account all the other farmers a sanctuary is not something you attack and control that will make everyone fear for you, especially since they are all just plain farmers with no combat experience.
