You just can't believe people, especially with a politically charged issue like this and everyone blowing it out of proportion saying "ranchers are finished blah blah blah". You look at how much the general public is blowing things out of proportion and I don't doubt that a pro-rancher professor from the Range department would say whatever he felt he had to say, true or not. Aside from that he isn't qualified to make assumptions about the behavior of wild animals nor natural selection in wild populations. That would be the realm of the biologist in my opinion.


I can stand up in front of you all and say "the sky is green" all day long but your not going to believe me until I say "hey go look it's green see?". It's not that hard to comprehend. Basically he is saying something that is a bit of a stretch and he needs to back it up. When he proves that what he is saying is true then I will believe. It's no different than any member of the scientific community treats a new hypothesis.
