the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to list the Gunnison sage-grouse as endangered, and a proposed rule to designate approximately 1.7 million acres of critical habitat for Gunnison sage-grouse under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ...
This includes grabbing private lands from ranchers and family farms, not just preventing grazing allotments on public lands.
There’s still sage grouse hunting in Idaho. Don’t believe for a minute that these birds are “endangered”
You know, I don't think that woman
has a lick o' sense. If'n I was a sage grouse
I'd be more worried about chicken hawks
than I would some cow eatin' grass.
You know, with ‘Grouse Helper’ sage grouse tastes like prairie chicken.
Hey Colorado.....how does sucking up to the dims over gun registration / confiscation sound now....
.......those that sup with the devil need a long spoon....
and your spoon just melted.
I thought Obama was going to name Punxsutawney Phil Secretary of the Interior. Oh well, maybe I was thinking of Global Warming Czar.
The enviro-facists are trying to do the same thing down here in southeast NM and West Texas with listing the lesser prairie chicken as endangered. This will not only affect ranchers but also the oil and gas industry.
Congressman Steve Pearce is taking the lead in fighting this with the DOI’s F&WS. He succeeded in preventing the endangered species listing of the desert sagebrush lizard by organizing conservation areas with the oil companies who ponied up big bucks in support of these. The F&WS backed off (for now) but the same Tucson enviro-Nazis who sued to prevent logging/timber thinning in spotted owl areas (i.e. everywhere - and we know how that worked out - terrible large forest fires destroying huge areas of AZ/NM the past couple of years) are suing to force the lizard listing.
If anyone wants to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics.
