LAS VEGAS – Tensions are growing as people in the community of Bunkerville are trying to stop federal agents from taking cattle off of public land.
During a Wednesday’s night town meeting, community members came out in force to support rancher Cliven Bundy. They gave him a standing ovation when he got up to speak.
“I love you people. And I love this land, and I love freedom and liberty,” Bundy told the crowd.
“I want to tell you and thank you for being brave enough to stand up for me, for my freedom, for my liberties and my land,” Overton area resident Kelly Houston said.
“I openly, publicly and personally say: I stand with the Bundys,” Overton area resident Laura Bledsoe said.
…”There’s only one reason they have a backhoe and a dump truck up there and that is because they’re cleaning up their mess from killing our animals,” Ammon Bundy said.
The ranchers say this is calving season and mother cows are being separated from their babies.
