USFWS is only looking at de-listing because they are being sued. Turns out the snowy plover is genetically identical to the inland plover and they are all over the place.
OPRD has stated they pretty much don't care if the bird is federally de-listed, Oregon has its own listing and screw the public.

Public input is something they have to arrange for but they can pick and choose what they want to implament Endangered species are picked by how much damage they can incur to the public. If they can't use the plover, they will have another critter lined up. USFS has used slugs for this very purpose, even after they were shown to be more then originally stated.

"Turns out the snowy plover is genetically identical to the inland plover and they are all over the place."

Hmmmm....a lot like stocked Cohoe salmon being genetically identical to wild Cohoe salmon, but in this case, the lawsuit is based on a scientific misnomer...

How unsurprising and Algore-like.
