Slowly, but surely some of the bad science used by the enviral whackos to create an endangered species is being thrown out.

shows the 9-inch mouse, which can launch itself a foot and a half into the air and switch direction in mid-flight

Only slightly more impressive than the common mouse... these things are (unfortunately) amazing atheletes

We hope that this is the first of a huge tidal wave of removal of idiotic ESA's in the next 4 years.

The first few times, you see one of the critters launch itself and change directions, you wonder if your eyes really saw what was happening.

Nearly 31,000 acres have been designated critical mouse habitat for the Preble's mouse along streams in Colorado and Wyoming, including large parts of Colorado's Front Range, where sprawl is booming amid the foothills and the prairie. The mouse also has blocked construction of reservoirs despite a continued drought there.

Brought to you at taxpayers expense by the same group that tells you that large corporations control the U.S.

These Enviral Whacko foundations besides being funded by our tax $'s, receive money from the super rich elite left wing fascists's non profits. Like Terroriza Heinz's various phoney non profits.

Who knows how long it will take us to actually get out from under the restrictions though. My state of Wyoming has been really hit hard by these stupid ESA impositions. Now if they would make the groups who erroneously imposed them pay all of the costs incurred by wheat farmers and the state, that would help.
The wolves are another biggie, they are killing sheep and cows, to say nothing of horses, but Wyoming is being "punished" because they insist on referring to wolves as predators. The three states were supposed to have a total of 30 packs, which would have been in the 100-150 range, we now have nearly 100 packs, and a thousand wolves that they admit to, and of course that is not enough.

I remember when I was little... we had poultry... and my dad left a big tub of bird seed open.

In the morning... we found a VERY stuffed and round little mouse in there, too foodlogged to move. LOL! It had to jump in there because of the sleek round sides and the very large rim.

It went from jumping mouse to "Help, I ate too much, fell down and can't move" mouse.

Great!

The former jumping mouse in your family legends was infected with Michael Moore Mouse syndrome. Then it got too fat from over eating to jump. It fell down and just laid there!

"This proposal is a devastating blow to open space across the Front Range,"

These wackos just showed what we all suspected: This has nothing to do with protecting endangered species, and everything to do with impeding land use.

The people of Wyoming have been punished by East Coast and West Coast Watermelon senators and congressits for being too conservative for over a decade.

A jumping mouse?  Not very useful.

This is what happens when college students are paid to "find" "endangered species" and map them.
A friend that used to work for me in the IT industry, spent his college summers in Montana doing just that.
(He was a Bio major)
The objective was to find flora or fauna that "looked different", and catalog them.
If the object had "some difference" from the available reference subjects, WHA LA! A "new species"!

Resultingly, if someone proposed "developing" in a particular area, "Sorry, there there's endangered species in there, no can do."
