Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is closed until further notice. (click here)
An unknown number of armed individuals have broken into and occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge facility near Burns, Oregon. While the situation is ongoing, the main concern is employee and public safety; we can confirm that no federal staff were in the building at the time of the initial incident. We will continue to monitor the situation for additional developments.
There are many people that live on USA public lands. They even run businesses that accommodate visitors to the public lands. There is no reason for any actions against the people of the USA to remove those lands into private ownership.
This is the enemy, "quack, quack."
I love this refuge. (click here) The experience is life affirming. Not only do we love the experience of being in the unique landscape and viewing the birds, we have loved getting to know some of the local people we connect with again each year, and meeting other travelers.. Some years we have gone twice. Each trip I learn something new (often from another visitor) or recognize a bird that I could not identify before. It is an opportunity to be with our friends in an environment we love and appreciate. It is so interesting to see the differences through the years... Are the owls nesting in the same place? Will the area be dry or wet? Will the number of birds returning be similar in number or will events (natural or not) over the last year affect their population? My life experience would be greatly diminished if could not come here.—Survey comment from visitor to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Since the ? men ? at the refuge have broken enough laws to put them in a concrete box for the rest of their lives AND the indebtedness of the Bundis (Old man - one million and son - half a million) it is safe to say they need a lawyer and can't pay for one. So, the federal government should supply them a lawyer by chance they want to give up their homelessness.
