Why not a bounty on Barred Owls?

[RexBeach]

So, in order to save the spotted owl, we now get to ace the barred owl?

Ahem. This doesn’t seem to make much sense.

Say, how about if we arm the spotted owl and let it fend for itself?

launch an assault on barred owls — shooting them

How am I going to get my Spotted Owl Soup now?

[KarlInOhio]

So federal biologists, under a new owl recovery plan, want to launch an assault on barred owls — shooting them out of some patches of forest to see whether it helps spotted owls.

We have to destroy the owls in order to save the owls.

When are we going to get out of this quagmire of an owl civil war?

[Mr. Jeeves]

I think we need to take immediate action and indict the barred owl for violating the Endangered Species Act. ;)

I spotted an owl, which started the whole world sighing,
But I didnt see that the owl was on me, oh no.

It started to fry, which started the whole world cringing,
Oh, if they’d only seen that the owl was in me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that they’d said.

‘Til it finally died, which started the whole world crying,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,

I thought these environmentalists believed in Darwin. ;-)

My sister works on the “save the spotted owl” state committee in Oregon. She told me once, Mother Nature sometimes just says no. It’s called evolution.

[SampleMan]

If there's hope for the spotted owl, biologists suggest, it may be in some such barred owl-free zones.

Why haven't they put of the signs yet?

[sionnsar]

Say WA? Evergreen State ping

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.

“”The spotted owl was really just a symbol for a much broader ecological and political debate,’’ Forsman says. “Regardless of what happens to the spotted owl, I don’t think that debate will change.”

Just like those who were supposedly working to save Sacco and Vanzetti revealed to Katherine Ann Porter that they didn’t want to save S&V, that they had to die for the cause.

Libs are demented.

[Scotsman will be Free]

Sounds like Barred Owls are superior to the Spotted Owl. Natural selection at work.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I didn’t read every single word, but I read the start and did a good scan.

I’m a bit confused.

Where did the Barred Owl come from? They imply it shouldn’t be here, but never actually say that?

So was it human intervention (somebody released a bunch there) or just the Barred expanding? Or did Barreds move from 1 territory to another because of human development?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Spotted owls are vanishing inside Olympic National Park, where logging never disturbed them.

Another species doomed to extinction before we showed up and the left used it to destroy people's livelyhoods.

Yet another saga in the series of the U.S. Forest Service Biologists GONE WILD!

[Secret Agent Man]

There is so much truth in this article concerning how liberals actually think. Scary that it actually got through the editors. Of course they didn’t all the irony in it, it went right over them.
