A CATTLE RANCH THE SIZE OF SCOTLAND

The Kidman owned ranch (station) in Australia is one of many reasons for the fire, drought, and record high temperatures for Australia. The land has been destroyed by the sapling tree destruction caused by ranchers.

The Telegraph: "The remote estate, now owned by the beef baron’s descendants, covers eleven cattle stations across the country and includes about 186,000 cattle as well as the 8,900 square-mile Anna Creek Station, the world’s largest standalone cattle property. But only about 150 people are said to live in the vast territory. a 39,000 square mile series of cattle stations worth an estimated £175 million. "

Because cows, sheep and goats pull up sapling trees in their grazing, those who 'own' them are deforesting the planet and destroying the rain cycle. The average tree evaporates 42 gallons of moisture daily which becomes mist, then rain, then clouds. Privateering cattle barons are destroying the planet.
