Environmental Groups Seeking More Protection For Sage Grouse ( CO & Utah )
CBS Denver ^ | January 20, 2015 | Donna Bryson

Posted on 01/20/2015 5:15:34 PM PST by george76

Two environmentalist groups filed suit Tuesday seeking stronger protection for a bird found only in Colorado and Utah ... The Center for Biological Diversity and the Western Watersheds Project said in court papers that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should go back and produce an “adequate finding” on the status of the Gunnison sage grouse

...

The threatened designation could result in restrictions on oil and gas drilling, agriculture, recreational and other land uses.

...

both camps will be watching litigation closely, in part to see how it might influence policy on the more common greater sage grouse. The two grouses are related, but the greater sage grouse is at the center of a broader debate that involves 11 Western states.

Next thing you know, they will want is to tag them with gps and make it a non-human zone for an area of 500km around each bird.

I think conservatives should file suit to protect the habitat of cockroaches and rats in urban areas. Cockroaches and rats are endemic to large urban cities and should be protected. Chicago, Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, LA, SF, Hartford, DC, etc. are prime preserve areas.

At least 40% of each of the cities should be set aside as designated Vermin and Varmint Preserves. State, county and local buildings and grounds could be a starting point for development. Severe penalties should be assigned for killing of these creatures although a “native exclusion” should be allowed for those who have historically subsisted on these creatures.

Additionally, the Washington Redskins football name and logo could then be changed to reflect the new reality .... Washington Rats and Roaches.

Mission: destroy hunting, and by extension, the gun culture.

Why else?

Protect the Grouse!

A drizzle of olive oil or butter before putting it in the oven helps.

You USAians are really big on convenience foods. What’s the problem with adding the sage when cooking the bird?
