Bu$h and Endangered Species

That the bu$hi$ta$ hate the Endangered Species Act is understood by all but the brain dead. The degree of this hatred is still shocking when put in numbers. That steward of America's treasures, Gail Norton, managed to list 39 species during her tenure. All 39 were listed due to court order, so if they had their way none would have been listed! This compares with 512 species listed by the Clinton administration and 234 species listed in the time of George I.

There are currently 283 species on the candidate list. The average wait is 14 years, all the while the species' predicaments go from bad to worse. Yet the bu$hi$ta$ would do nothing. At least 42 species of plants and animals have gone extinct during delays in the process to list them. There are now 31 more species on the candidate list than when bu$h took office.

the pockets of their cronies, they could not care less about anything or anybody. It is that simple.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed in November that the grizzly bears in Yellowstone national park should be removed from the endangered species list . A group of 100 scientists and researchers disagree.

They signed a letter protesting the proposal and mailed it to Chris Servheen, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's grizzly bear recovery coordinator. Primatologist Jane Goodall and bear experts Chuck Jonkel and John Craighead Sr. signed the letter.

The signees said in the letter that they believe an isolated population of 500 to 600 bears is not nearly enough. It needs to be 2,000 to 3,000 for genetic diversity. They said that the smaller number will likely become extinct.
