“Environmentalism” is not love of or concern for the environment - it is - and always has been - a political movement of the Left. As such, is not truly about nature, but about power, money and control of resources that rightly belong to others.
“The reasonable response to this news by the environmental activists would be, “Oh, we’re sorry, we were mistaken.”
....oh no, no, no.....the left NEVER has to say it’s sorry...the biggest example in my lifetime was the fact that the Left never apologised for the SE Asian holocaust...it was the Jane Fonda contingent that cheered on the Commies then looked the other way when the purges began over there.
do libs ever make sense?
they force children to learn the theory of evolution, and teach it as fact. yet when a prime example of natural selection is put right in front of them, they try to stop it.
Save me a drumstick.
Tastes a lot like Bald Eagle.
“The government report calls it barred owl management. I call it needless slaughter and animal cruelty.”
And I call it Liberals playing GOD!
Flashback! Femi-Nazi’s... Dawn of Post-Modern age, Ziare, Bosnia... Would trade the problems of that day for our current ones any day of the week...
But remember, us humans are “evolving”
I would think this injunction against logging, ostensibly to protect the Spotted Owl and founded, as we’ve discovered, on fraudulent or irresponsible “science,” constitutes an actionable injury (a “tort” to the legally inclined) against the loggers who were unemployed, the timber concerns who lost millions in profits, and the general public in those regions where the fraud was perpetrated. A class-action lawsuit against the Sierra Club and the other eco-nazis should bankrupt them and reset the bar for those who would terrorize the innocent in the name of their environmental god.
I walked out on my porch late at night a couple of weeks ago, and heard my first barred owl. I have seen them often, but just never heard one making its distinctive sound. Scared the absolute he!! out of me. I didn’t at first realize it was an owl, and I was like, ‘I don’t believe in ghosts, etc., but WHAT is making that weird sound???’
I figured it out, and then just stood there listening to it for a while. They are truly amazing creatures.
They banned logging in the NorthWest because of low numbers of the “Northern Spotted Owl”.
That’s an important distinction, because they artificially drew a line between North and South, where the same critter (now the Southern Spotted Owl) was thriving.
Millions of jobs and billions of dollars later, all they can say is “Whoops! Well, we knew it was a lie in the first place....”
With some butter and lemon pepper......GOOD EATS!!!!!!!
I always wondered, and never got an answer from environmentalists, where spotted owls lived before old growth forests got old.
“There were lawsuits, and, in 1990, the Northern subspecies of spotted owl came under the Endangered Species Act (two subspecies in other parts of the country were not affected). A sweeping federal court ruling in 1991 closed much of the Northwest woods to logging. By the end of the century, timber harvest on 24 million acres of federal land had dropped 90 percent from its heyday. The spotted owl crystallized the power of the species-protection law. No threatened animal has done more to change how we use land.”

Because the environuts cannot allow themselves to be proven wrong, they will simply do “whatever it takes” to ensure the Spotted Owl survives. I would love to hear the Sierra Club’s justification for offing a bunch of owls to save the right kind of owls. “Animal Farm” and “1984” are tame by comparison to some of what we see and hear everyday now.
"Both barred and spotted owls, along with great gray owls and rufous-legged owls, belong to the genus Strix, medium-sized birds that lack the hornlike tufts of ear feathers common to many other owls. They are so closely related that they sometimes crossbreed, blurring species boundaries and diluting spotted owl genes."

I refer to the enviro-wackos as watermelons: green on the outside, red on the inside!
