Bush and his cronies to wipe out all endangered species...
From the San Jose Mercury News...
"The Bush administration is proposing far-reaching changes to conservation policies that would allow hunters, circuses and the pet industry to kill, capture and import animals on the brink of extinction in other countries. Giving Americans access to endangered animals, officials said, would feed the gigantic U.S. demand for live animals, skins, parts and trophies, and generate profits that would allow poor nations to pay for conservation of the remaining animals and their habitats." For more see: http://www.centredaily.com/mld/mercu...ld/6989034.htm Who voted for these a$$holes? -L. |

Who voted for these a$$holes?
Gaubster for one (like that's a surprise. He makes Bush look like a rocket scientist.) I am so angry after reading this article I could scream. Their justification for this is totally retarded. The article did say that we're in the public comment period until the 17th. Does anyone know specifics on how and where to comment?

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

Here's a link to a less biased account of the story, which has
nothing to do with President Bush, but with the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service. You have to watch for outright lies from any story originating from the Washington Post and/or the LA Times (and many others). It's only a handful of species that are being considered, and it is to supposedly encourage third world countries where these animals are treated poorly to adopt better conservation programs. http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/10/11/end...ies/index.html As to the vulgar comment as to who votes for whom, I would hope there would be more than one issue that voters consider. And that they'd check their sources. I'd hate to think that we are a nation of simpletons. |

ps. I said this act is being considered to "supposedly" encourage
third world countries where these animals are treated poorly to adopt better conservation programs. I think it's despicable that anyone would let a sick hunter harm these animals or that they'd end up in some roadshow circus. I think we need to find out which special interest group is behind this and why the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is even considering it. Probably hunters and/or circuses - both of which I despise! Here's a link to email the Fish and Wildlife Service - do so before Oct 17 http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/fws/contactus.htm |

There are plenty of "endangered" animals that are not worthy ANYMORE ... of being on the endangered list. Gray wolves are but one example. Deer and elk in some regions are also no longer "endangered" and in fact need to be thinned out. Keep in mind ANYTHING you read from Bay Area newspapers is way left of center and heavily influenced by the eco nazis. -- ~~Philip "Never let school interfere with your education - Mark Twain" |
