Hobbies include: Grazing

This was in my e-mail today. Apparently turning land into a national park will keep people from the fabulous recreational activities of rock collecting, grazing, and logging.


National Landscape Conservation System Land Grab Threatens The West


The NLCS Essentially Places A National Park Type Overlay Over Millions Of Acres Of BLM Land. Multiple-Use and private property will be eliminated or threatened.

The Babbitt National Landscape Conservation System (HR 2016) threatens:


-----Oil and Gas exploration;

-----Miners and mineral exploration;

-----Off-Highway Vehicle Use;

-----Convert Wilderness Study Areas into Wilderness;

-----All kinds of recreation like shooting, hunting and rock collecting;

-----Hunting for some is essential to their survival;

-----Sightseeing;

-----River rafting;

-----Grazing;

-----Forestry and logging;

-----Many more types of recreation.



Also, since when was "Sightseeing" prohibited in a national park?
