From an editorial found in the Casper Star Tribune on August 4, 2009.
……conservation groups say that a coal – bed methane gas drilling plan in Campbell and Johnson counties “threatens to encroach upon the prized Fortification Creek elk herd.”
Their concern for the elk is touching. Where is that concern for the elk that inhabit the northwest parts of the state? Are they not prized? Why weren’t they raising alarms and saying that wolves “threaten to encroach” on the elk herds in and around Yellowstone National Park back when wolves were first brought here? Where is their concern now that those elk numbers are a fraction of what they used to be?
