The Federal Government is spending over $1,500,000,000.00 to kill 500,000 barred owls to protect a spotted owl. What gives government that right?



What Is So SPECIAL About the Spotted Owl Other Than IT Has Been Known to NEST in Walmart Signs?



quote:

A federal campaign to kill nearly a half-million barred owls in the Pacific Northwest to save threatened spotted owls continues, even though the recent lifting of protections for spotted owl habitat defeats the entire purpose, an animal welfare advocate says.

It’s costing the government roughly $3,000 per bird to have barred owls shot, Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action and the Centre for a Humane Economy, told Cowboy State Daily.

So the article appears to put great effort into not providing much detail the Reasons for the plan. When they do talk about one reason, it comes of as them just ignoring it and continuing on

Reminds us of the time in 2015 when the EPA tried to remediate an old mine in Colorado but ends up releasing 3-million gallons of toxic sludge.

There's no problem so big that bureaucrats can't make it worse.

K, we've always controlled animal populations to protect others.

Not true.

The first such law was passed in 1966.

The 5 billion species who went extinct on planet Earth before 1966 were simply out of luck.

So that's why people in India have a dot on their forehead.

Makes sense now.

It is a fact the Spotted Owl will nest elsewhere. However, the tree hugger nuts NEED the spotted owl to help them save the Old Growth Forests. Their claim is the Spotted Owl lives in the Old Growth Forests until the Barred Owl says,

“Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?”

Extinction is a key aspect of the holiest of secular dogma, evolution.

It sounds just as profitable as the fires that are started in cali...all for the money.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is overseen by the United States Department of the Interior. Secretary Burgum is the head of the DOI...he needs to be contacted.



ETA: I commented on his page.
