Scientists who worked on the plan...

Isn't it a stretch to call these people who employ junk science to get their way "scientists"?

The path of destruction behind the Clinton tornado continues unabated.

Some animals are just supposed to go extinct. That's how it works.

Did we forget to tell the Barred Owl that the Spotted Owl was protected?

What a half baked plan.

[farmfriend]

Gosh, maybe the barred owl was the problem in the first place! Ya think?. I've heard a very knowledgeable person here on FR say that very thing.

Spotted Owls are great; I usually have them with white wine.

Quick, someone tell the Barred Owl that it is in fact barred from the spotted neighbourhood.

That'll teach them. I can't believe how retarded that stupid bird is.

"Spotted owl numbers have fallen by roughly half over the past decade in parts of Washington ......."

Well, all I can tell you is that they are low in cholesterol, high in protean, added salt is not needed and they taste like chicken.

[Conspiracy Guy]

If it saves just one Spotted Owl, it will be worth it.

May the fittest species survive. It's not nice to fool with Mother evolution.

[F.J. Mitchell]

"and they taste just like chicken."

LOL! Doesn't everything?

BTT!!!!!

[Carry_Okie]

The very people who worship evolution pretend the power and wisdom to arrest the process of natural selection.

[dalereed]

cut the trees, make the spotted owl get some sun, the mold will disapear, no more spots, problem solved!

[ChevyZ28]

I just don't believe there is anyway to stop a species, any species from going extinct. To do so, is ludicrous and only inviting problems.

Isn't it a stretch

We would probably call it an intention, which etymologically is the same root meaning as stretch.

Hey! I already tole yew guys that this was all spelled out in a San Francisco artickle about five, or six years ago by a biologist who made it clear that the New York Barred Owls were gobbling up all the wussy Spotted Owl's favorite foods (shouldn't have been such a picky eater in the first place) and mating with it (leave it to those aggressive owls from New York bars) and breeding it out of existence.

His whole point was that the wussy Spotted Owl was being screwed, starved and intimidated worse than prisoners in an Iraqi prison!!! Those New York owls were taught to fly in terrorist flying schools and were even flying their larger bodies into the nests of Northern Spotted Owls and laying waste to their priceless eggs!!!

The films were to be played on Letterman in his favorite sequence called "Is This Anything?" Dave nixed the idea in favor of his cherished "Grinder Girl" who is obviously from the Middle East.

He almost considered moving it to "Stupid Pet Tricks" but knew better after reviewing EnvironMentalism in general and preferred airing it in the "Stupid Human Tricks" along with that British "Butterfly" gal sitting atop a giant pine tree!!!
