I think this is some stuff on Jim Beers..........his words;
I worked for the US Fish & Wildlife Service for over 30 years in four states and the District of Columbia. I was first, last, and always a dedicated waterfowl waterfowl, common term for members of the order Anseriformes, wild, aquatic, typically freshwater birds including ducks, geese, and screamers. In Great Britain the term is also used to designate species kept for ornamental purposes on private lakes or ponds, while in North America it is used for quarry species and is sometimes extended to refer to wading birds of the order Charadriiformes, such as plovers and sandpipers, as well as to other edible water birds. biologist although my first job title was often Game Agent, Special Agent, Refuge Manager, Wetlands Biologist, and Wildlife Biologist. I got into the business because of a passion for waterfowl that I have, thankfully, never overcome.
When Roe v. Wade was handed down by the Supreme Court in 1973, I was astonished. Not just because of the inhuman legal status and lack of legal protection awarded a child in its mother’s womb, but for another reason as well.
I was a Federal US Game Management Agent (Federal Game Warden) at the time. I had cited people for violations of the Migratory migratory /mi·gra·to·ry/ (mi´grah-tor?e)
1. roving or wandering.
2. of, pertaining to, or characterized by migration; undergoing periodic migration. Bird Treaty Act that the US signed with Great Britain in 1917, on behalf of Canada, to protect 212 species of birds that migrated between Canada and the United States each year. The Treaty specifically prohibited “the taking of nests or eggs” of the named migratory birds. I had cited persons for stealing duck eggs—because then, as now, the egg of a protected migratory bird is the same as the bird itself before US and Canadian courts. In other words a redhead duck egg is a redhead duck before the law, while a human fetus is not even human nor is he or she protected before US (Editor: or Canadian) law today.

This is more like Jim Beers I read.
There are approximately 4 times as many polar bears (20,000+) as when they passed the Marine Mammal Protecxtion Act in the early 1970s. The real reason is that they greatly underestimated the numbers as they whined about the need to protect (i.e. seize management authority from the state of Alaska and outlaw ANY hunting for polar bear by ANY US citizen ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD by forbidding import of any part) but even setting that aside . They can now List (as in proclaim under the Endangered Species Act) a species because they think it will be X average degrees next year? Ten years from now? That the icepack that changes constantly will look like A-B-C in 29years and this means X-Y-Z for polar bears? They can List because a lot of comments (from we-know-whos) indicate it is a good idea? Unmanaged killer whales are decimating sea otters (you remember the cute ones that float on their back and crack shellfish with a rock) and now seals so we will put an even greater level of No-managemenmt/No-touch federal control on polar bears? If that was Exxon or Peabody Coal decimating those sea otters we would all join a lynch mob and riot with torches at night demanding revenge.
Goebbels was right. Tell a BIG LIE often enough and soon everybody will believe it!
