Dear HCN,
Reading Ben
Long’s story in your March 12 issue, “Yellowstone’s
last stampede,” was like getting a kick in the stomach.
Who are these pea-brains on their disgusting
machines that they can treat the park as though it’s their
own personal Disneyland? They obviously care nothing for the land
or the animals who must endure noise and fuel pollution. Where they
need to be playing around is at a landfill or city dump somewhere.
Anywhere. Their getting the boot out of the park can’t come
too soon for those of us who know Yellowstone to be a magical
place, and that snowmobiles are an intrusion and have no business
being there. Horses for courses goes the cliché; snowmobiles
in Yellowstone, not.
