Hey Missoula,

I apologize my posts have been a bit erratic this week—some of the issues seemed more appropriate for the Bozeman list serve. 
Education

I have attached a photo of a grizzly bear that Cottonwood recovered via a Freedom of Information Act request. The grizzly was killed by a sheepherder that was eating domestic sheep in the Gravelly Mountains. 

The Greater Yellowstone Coalition and Montana Wilderness Association support domestic sheep grazing in the Gravelly Mountains. Cottonwood is working in court to stop the grazing. In the mean time, we have offered to sit down with the permit holders to discuss economic compensation in exchange for not grazing. 
Conversation Starter

Yesterday a member of the Bozone Listserve asked these questions:

- How does allowing domestic sheep grazing on National Forest land fit (or not fit) into these organizations' missions and visions?

- Where does the support of grazing among these organizations comes from? What is the history that steered these groups to supporting grazing? What is their benefit for supporting grazing?

Can someone at GYC or MWA answer?
