It's not just an accounting exercise when your livestock is torn up, and you are prevented from doing anything about it. Protecting your flock is pretty primal stuff, actually.

I guess what side of this issue you land on comes down to whether or not you believe people have a right to use the land for their business to any extent they want. If you’re a conservative and believe in small government you’ll probably say let them do whatever they need to make a profit. If you’re on the opposite side of the spectrum you probably believe the government should regulate the situation with conservation in mind, and that raising livestock at all costs isn’t sustainable or the best use of land in all cases.
