“Synopsis: Ranchers, particularly through practices like overgrazing on public lands, often engage in self-destructive, environmentally damaging activities that lead to soil erosion and habitat degradation. Their often used and profound “Sacrifice-Dynamic”, in their minds, especially toward our Natural Resources and Ecology, destructive toward Lands and Wildlife.
Interesting, that while we see these supposed management dynamics play-out above, I also noticed the same “legitimacy” given respectfully toward Wildlife profoundly ignored, and bias-selective. The necessity, in a Rancher’s mind-set, for example, and the most common percentages show this in the data collected, that they assume the Wild Horses and the Wolves (i.e. two best examples and certainly habitat friendly), among other Predators, depending on their area, are the Scapegoats, to cover-up poor to incompetent management paradigms; thereby, their management-paradigms, simplified here, generate very destructive outcomes.
Other groups displaying self-destructive tendencies include specific agricultural, industrial, or politically-bias groups, or community groups driven by economic pressure, tradition, or conflict. Throughout this research, I found, overwhelmingly, the attempts at using Bigotry, Bias, and Contrived-Hatred as tools, to achieve some types of speculated coercion, or even to intimidate those who observed, and spoke about the harm all of this does cause to our Natural Environment.”
