I would bet this is being driven by the bunny loving, flower sniffing, spandex wearing, prius driving, tree hugging, CNW members rather than a science based study results.As far as the bands of sheep grazing in areas, other members of this forum can either verify or tell me I'm wrong but when we had the bands of 10,000 sheep and herds of 300 head of cattle grazing the OWNF there were fires but not as catastrophic that consumed so many acres as the sheep and cattle kept the undergrowth grazed down. Then the grazing permits were sold to conservation groups and the fires of hell rage every summer.Just my All of these new policies are coming from the same place. These people are fundamentally opposed to the way you and I live our lives.
Comment left. What an unnecessary and discriminatory proposal. It would ban pack goats in areas where wild sheep don't even live! Absurd.

Goats and llamas and etc I’m not so sure about. If it comes down to a choice I would choose wild sheep over domestic on our public lands. But I would say the same about bison and domestic cattle but we won’t be getting bison back on our public lands anytime soon.

Wait till they ban HORSES!
Are pack goats even used in the same areas as Bighorn? Why a blanket ban on wdfw lands? Surely wdfw is overacting with a blanket ban.
