.270 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 well, i guess it's over. they want to keep the wolves in montana on the endangered list, even tho they aren't a native animal and there are about 3 times as many as they ever wanted in the first place and have exceeded the numbers originally agreed on as correct for the balance. they want to keep eagles in the endangered list, even tho they have recovered to numbers they never expected and there are a myriad of laws already protecting them. now they was to list polar bears. even tho this article says there are over twice as many of them now as there were in the 60's. i read a deal yesterday that said that their numbers had actually increased 5x world wide. this article just talks about north american bears and doesn't talk about russian and other european bears, that i can see. if there really is such a thing as global warming, and not just a weather change, maybe the polar bears like it. how the heck can they list an animal as threatened that is actually increasing in numbers? i'll tell ya how, ya lie. heck, we just as well put coyotes on the list, because al gore says so. you guys that buy into this stuff need to do some real searching. because this is politics trying to legislate nature and that is pure lieing bull$h!t and if you buy into to it, well, you can figure out what you're gonna be a part of. this is a sad dang deal for sure. proactive endangered legislation on an animal that is not just doing fine, but is increasing every day. anyone who can't see what's going on ain't even worth the arguement. this is huggers at their best. and you best not side up with it. nobody want's polar bears to go away. but how in the heck can you do this when they are doing better than at any time in the past 50 years? what a deal. coues deer are next i guess.

TAM Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Don't drink the kool-aid Lark!!!! I saw this on the news last night and from the report I listened to they came to this decision because there has been a large decrease in the pack ice in the artic. I didn't hear one word about the bears numbers actually decreasing or the bears actually being on the decline. Just a lot of talk about the pack ice melting and that the bears could all be gone by 2050 if something isn't done about it right away! Sure whish we could get such a quick response from our politicians when it comes to other issues like Social Security, Illegal Immigration, Oil prices, etc. They want to micro manage bears in the artic, but no body can make a single effective decision about protecting our borders. What's up with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Tim, that would require more effort and a hard-line decision than making a feel-good declaration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
