As a point of clarification, the Hammonds' fires had nothing to do with the game refuge, or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages it.

The Bureau of Land Management manages other lands.

The "protesters" occupied the wrong property, if they wanted to pick a bone with the BLM.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
