The President Stole Your Land: Patagonia blasts Trump for monuments move

The President Stole Your Land: Patagonia blasts Trump for monuments move

Source: Think Progress

On Monday night, just hours after President Donald Trump announced that he would be reducing the size of two national monuments by some 2 million acres, Patagonia’s website went dark save for a simple message in bold white lettering. 

“The President Stole Your Land,” the homepage of Patagonia.com read, adding, “In an illegal move, the president just reduced the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. This is the largest elimination of protected land in American history.” 

The website then offered visitors a chance to learn more, both about the president’s move to reduce the size of the two Utah monuments as well as Patagonia’s own commitment to maintaining federally protected public lands. Earlier this year, Patagonia ran its first-ever television advertisement in direct opposition to the administration’s then-rumored intention to shrink national monuments, spending some $700,000 on television and radio advertisements in Utah, Montana, and Nevada.

heaven forbid trump want to give these lands back to the states so they can determine their best use.  This is how it should be we need to not be overreaching to have national parks when we already have insufficient funds to manage the ones we have.

By not making it a national monument that will keep it more in its natural state...  you only have to look Yellowstone...  nature has been destroyed by having it as a national monument. All the Asian...  millions of them a year trampling all over delicate plants and feeding wild animals.  The minute a place becomes a national monument it gets invaded and destroyed by Asians and tourism.

If the states want federal land then buy em back. Otherwise every American owns them. They are just going to sell them.

let  me guess you support Patagonia right ?

if so go fuck your self you worthless cunt . now go give your sled away because you don't deserve to own one . go buy some fucking snow shoes and go walk around the parameter of all state and federal land as to not disturb any of it .  

the company sucks ass any one who works for them is a cunt and any one who supports any thing they do is a cunt . if Patagonia is not for something I guarantee I am completely comfortable standing with the other side with out even looking at the issue in depth there history and donations tell me all I need to know . the fact you even posted something they wrote makes me want to kick your old stupid ass
