This herd in the 1960's was over 200,000 animals and now they 50,000 is going to over graze there terrain!  The Military people went up around Eureka with the machine guns and slaughters small bands and left them lay did not harvest or take any meat. Just killed them because I guess they thought it was fun to watch something.  Or maybe was it more sinister, to wipe out a peoples food source, like what happen to the Buffaloe in the lower 48.  I remember having to stop on the highway and wait for more than a half hour for the herd to cross the road between GunSight Mountain Lodge and Eureka.

Comissioner Cotten, You need to stop the continued slaughter of the Ahtna Peoples food source!  Remember this is food that we depend upon and most of the Ahtna Peoples do not have the 100K motorhome and toys to hunt with as the colonists have purchased from raping our natural renewable and non-renewable resources from the lands that you are occupying.
