Cartoonist John Potter asks: does it really make common sense to de-water streams and prioritize alfalfa-growing for cows when severe drought affects many more species?

It is available for delayed syndicated reuse but only via express written consent and licensing from Mountain Journal. For more information, contact sarah@mountainjournal.org
