- Cliven Bundy is appealing for help to stop the Federal Bureau of Land Management and the FBI from removing his 900 cattle
- He claims his family have owned 600,000 acres of Gold Butte since 1870
- The federal government claims that the cattle are trespassing and have seized about 350 of the animals
- Heavily armed federal officers equipped with 9 helicopters and backed up with snipers have have removed hundreds of the cattle
- Claims of violence against the agents have spurred private militias to pour into the area

Source: http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/10/us/nevada-rancher-rangers-cattle-showdown/index.html"No BLM! No BLM!" the protesters chanted to rangers in the middle of a two-lane rural highway.
What sounds likes zapping Tasers can be heard in the video.
In the wake of the publicized protests, members of various militia groups have been traveling from Virginia, Texas, Montana, Idaho and Wisconsin and arriving at the protest site and Bundy's ranch to support the family, said Stephen L. Dean, 45, of Utah, a member of one such group called the Peoples United Mobile Armed Services.
"It's tyranny in government," Dean said when asked what brought him to Nevada.
And, he added, "stealing people's cattle."
One banner at the protest side stated: "Has the West been won? Or has the fight just begun!"
