Oregon standoff: Bundy, militants destroy fence at federal refuge

Militants presiding over an armed occupation of a federal bird sanctuary destroyed a portion of a fence Monday afternoon that they said was installed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service – using the agency's own equipment. The militants removed barbed wire – Bundy with only his bare hands – and then used an excavator adorned with the Fish and Wildlife Service's logo to pluck stakes out of the ground. 'That's all that's needed for cows to go through,' Finicum announced after the work was done. The militants removed about 25 or 30 yards of fence. The Fish and Wildlife Service condemned the militants' actions in a written statement.
