Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 SFVS-member Mr. Veggie Hiker (VeggieHiker101) said Here is a link to an Offensive (Propaganda) Hike by East Bay Regional Park District that is clearly rationalizing the destructive & corrupt practice of grazing on public property and promoting meat- eating with public money - clearly aimed at kids too. Park officials (who get money from cattle farmers to allow their cattle to graze) seem to forget that the original inhabitants / grazers e.g. deer, elk were eliminated ruthlessly to institute this environmentally harmful practice of grazing. I hope you will write to them and voice your opinion as well. I have noticed their docents making these \ " pro-grazing\ " propaganda comments on other hikes as well. Showing up for the event and politely informing them & other participants (or simply asking key questions) would be a good idea as well.
