God, what next??? Another attempted excuse to not build the fence we need so badly.

"Experts say border fence would hurt bighorn sheep "?


Huh?
This the best the open borders people can do?

[absalom01]

Wow. And I thought that I had heard it all.

Rust never sleeps.

I'm surprised that the Democrats havent thought through that. They could have all the sheep come in and register, then issue them passports or breeding visas which they would display for free passage to mexico, and when they have their fill of nookie, they would have free passage back. Simply show their papers at the gate.

"Michel Finkelstein, executive director of the biological center, said these creatures need to cross their borderland habitat and construction of the wall would crush their ability to survive.

Calling the barrier "a new Berlin Wall," he said President Reagan admonished Soviet leader Mikal Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall in 1987, but now American legislators have launched a move to build a similar barrier along the Mexican border. "


Is this Michel Finkelstein a biologist or a stark raving Bush-hating, Kos/DU moonbat?
Who the heck cares about long horn sheep?
We got too many of sheep already, long horn or not..

ATTENTION THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANIMALS THIS IS 100% LEGAL TRICKERY.

This is SOP for leftists. When all else fails demand environmental impact studies to kill projects or delay them so that the budget appropriation runs out.

HOWEVER, I believe the border fence was made ENVIRONMENTAL EXEMPT so this trick does not work in the courts.

Then again some judge could do this regardless of the law.

.... migrate across the border to mate with herds in Baja California

and just why should we believe this Marxist environmentalist ?

Possibly a 2nd agenda like the spotted owl.

"If the California males are isolated from females in Mexico, repopulation and genetic flow in both countries will be affected," said Daniel Patterson, desert ecologist with the Center for Biological Diversity.

People like this need to be returned to the "Rubber Room" from which they escaped. Talk about MYOPIC!

Hired gun envirnmentalist who testifies FOR A FEE regarding the junk science of environmental impact.

Essentially they use junk science to kill construction projects.


They want to endager national security for a few lamb chops which should be eaten and not herd.

"including the cactus pygmy owl"

If it wants to walk across we would let it through the gate.

[TheOracleAtLilac]

the wall would block critical migration routes for other wildlife, including the cactus pygmy owl,

I can only conclude that this little fella is not a bird, otherwise
he'd be unaffected by a 15' fence,or
Patterson/Finkelsein are bald faced liars.

[Optimist]

so I guess you might say that now "the sheep will hit the fence"

This is SOP for leftists. When all else fails demand environmental impact studies to kill projects or delay them so that the budget appropriation runs out.

No kidding, look at Lebanon. When the whole 'dead civilians' thing didn't work they immediately started screaming about the enviroment.

Said Patterson, "The only living things the wall won't stop is people. It's a moral low-point for America when the government moves to destroy nature and wall us off from a friendly neighbor."

Mr's Patterson's leftist agenda is clear to all who can read.

We don't need to waste one cent on a fence. We need to fine business out of if they hire illegals. If there are no jobs here, that should cut the amount of people coming in.

[Ben Ficklin]

The Real ID amendment insures that environmental issues don't have to be considered for the San Diego fence or any other future fence.
