"2. The negative component is a function of the additional overgrazing created by one more animal. Since, however, the effects of overgrazing are shared by all the herdsmen, the negative utility for any particular decision making herdsman is only a fraction of - 1."

The effects of overgrazing should lead back into the first paragraph of your relevant passage where "disease" would infect and wipe the weaker animals off. It is worse because man has the ability to produce factory animals and can raise more and more weaker animals that we feed upon.

The only flesh products that could be called edible is beef and some fish and the reason why is they have been exposed to a natural environment at some point in their existence. All poultry, dairy and pork products have been raised in boxes and not fit for carrion.

The opposite side of the coin in the U.S.is millions of acres of BLM land that were banned from open grazing during the Clinton administration. This was a pet project of Al Gore to get the evil methane belching cows off public land. Gore forgot to take into consideration evil methane belching buffalo had consumed those same prairie grasses for the past 10,000 years and come one hot dry summer the whole prairie went up in flames. I don't think these summer fires helped the endangered species the grazing ban was supposed to protect.

Obviously to have a true consensus you need to bring the great herds of buffalo back. Cities and towns will have to be moved and bridges and underground passages built along all road allowances. The feedlot cowboy who refuses to go anywhere near a buffalo because they are dangerous can be replaced by a Washington trained righthinknik.
