The turtle was relevant. 90% of Bundy's land allotment was taken away in 1993 and he was limited to 150 cows on the Bunkerville Allotment where Bundy grazed most of his cattle. Bunkerville and another allotment area were closed to protect the desert tortoise.
That's what started the whole mess.
No. The Federal government managing Federal lands via the BLM [for what ever reason] did not cause CB not ignore the directives of BLM. The turtle did not cause CB to ingnore a BLM directive. He did that all on his crappy self.
The turtle or any other exterior reason for the BLM management of the lands is irrelevant.
100% of the Federal land allotted bundy could have been revoked...what does that matter.[rhetorical]
