FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







Resolution #17: Grazing on Public Lands


Allowing uneconomic grazing of livestock on public lands continues to seriously degrade these lands.  All of the nation's livestock needs can be profitably grown on private lands that are more suitable for such uses.  Public lands grazing leases, generally resulting in unfair taxpayer subsidies to a handful of large corporate permittees, should be halted.
The FWOC reaffirms its 1998 Resolution #9 and reiterates its support for all reasonable efforts to end subsidized grazing permits on public lands and to restore these damaged lands for wildlife and watershed values.
ACTION: Members are urged to write to their Senators and Representatives in Congress and state legislators, where appropriate urging the cessation of grazing on public lands.
