I was feeling good about exposing this fraud until I got to the last line -

.....the Congress of the United States will be conducting hearings when it comes back into session.....

Why am I not confident the enviro-whackos will be properly dealt with?

"... to get to the bottom of the scandal."

You can be sure that when congress gets into the act, we have reached bottom.

There may be Lynx populations in these states so what? There have also been credible spottings in the Smoky Mountains of Panthers as well they are thought to have been gone since the turn of the century. Gail Norton needs to get a clue and rid the Dept of Interior of it's overabundance of Nut Hatches as they have over populated the department and have become a nuisance.

One way or another, these types of laws are going to be addressed. And one way or another land owners are going to have to come out on top. The alternative is something I don't want to see. And if our leaders have any brains at all, they should agree.

While one of the reports admitted that very little is known about the lynx, biologists aren't shy about setting in stone what they extrapolate would be good for the lynx.

Yep, that's for sure.

ES, And responsibility for corruption and criminal action will again never be. Peace and love, George.

Just more "rural cleansing". These restrictions will eliminate any use of these woods. Here in Humboldt County in Ca the Snowy Plover listing has not only stopped all vehicle use on the beachs but you can not ride your horse, walk your dog, picnic or FLY A KITE.

Lynx do not like to be found, so you rarely see them. I worked at Denali National Park (Mt. McKinley) for two summers in the early 70s and saw a total of one lynx. Some people had worked there for many more years and had never see a lynx.

The spotted owl that caused so much controversy in the Pacific Northwest was first listed as threatened, like the Canada lynx, and then quickly listed as endangered. 11 million square miles of forest was placed off limits to logging. Lumber mills closed. Communities were devastated.

That should be 11 million acres. In any event, any animal that has been found over a range that covers 11 million acres is not threatened. I know two retired forest service managers who occupied high level staff positions in the forests covered by the lynx hoax. Both of them said the employees who committed this fraud should have been fired, at a minimum.

Something else they told me was amazing. Guess what is the biggest threat to spotted owls? Barn owls. If you hear spotted owls hooting and then a Barn owl hoot, the spotted owls shut up immediately. Next thing you know, the enviro-wackos will what to start tearing down barns in order to protect the spotted owl.

These enviro-whackos want to have their playground all to themselves. And WE pay their salary!

Lynx thread from 2-6-2002 with focus on reply #20 & #25

I'm kinda thinking that what this says is the government employees say that they planted the lynx hair to test the methodology involved in the DNA testing program, or they could just be playing CYA and lying their fool heads off.

Ya know... as a kid who hunted all over the mountains of New Hampshire for years and years, I don't recall ever once seeing a Lynx... saw lotsa Bobcats, but I never saw a Lynx... It doesn't mean that they aren't there, but then just because they COULD be there, doesn't mean they are...

Maybe these enviro-mental whackos should spend more time in the woods, and less time in their offices filing lawsuits and faking studies...

"Lynx do not like to be found, so you rarely see them."

But the mountain lions (aka panther or jaguar) which are protected in the western states have no trouble finding them when they're looking for a snack!

[editor-surveyor]

"or they could just be playing CYA and lying their fool heads off."

Which is what was proven conclusively over a month ago.

I still remember my first lynx sighting, back in the late 60s. I told my dad that it looked like an overgrown bobcat on stilts,and snowshoes.
