U. S. Federal Government, Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Service:
We the understand are asking to have the Least Chub placed on the Endangered Species list. One of the six populations has nearly vanished, federal officials have said. Least chub around Mona Springs %u2014 part of the Utah Lake drainage %u2014 were found in 1995 by state biologists. Since 1999, they have seen a precipitous drop because they've become a sought-after food for the nonnative mosquitofish, a fish once widely introduced to curb mosquito populations.
Federal officials in their review plan on looking at the role of nonnative species in the chub's decline. The agency also says there may not be enough regulatory mechanisms in place now to keep the species viable.
Crockett said state officials have been trying for years to save the fish, including working with private landowners who play a key role in preserving habitat. He's hoping the state can continue that even if the least chub goes on the federal endangered species list.
The Fish and Wildlife Service will come to one of three conclusions: the fish doesn't need any additional protections; that it should be listed as threatened or endangered; or that a listing is warranted but precluded because of other, higher priorities.
If it warrants listing, it could take another year before it lands on the endangered species list.
We believe that a year is too long, and we are asking for immediate protection for the Least Chub.
Thank you very much.
Respectfull, the undersigned:
We signed the "Petition To U.S. Government To Protect Least Chub" petition!

Species that can be saved from extinction, must be saved. THe inherent value of biodiversity is greater than economic gain.

great or small every creature deserves to be able to live the way they are designed without being impacted upon. this includes the chub. a small and seemingly insignificant creature, but it's not. give it the protection it deserves.

PLEASE don't let another species be wiped off the face of the earth......humanity is wilfully and systematically destroying Earth's precious ecosystems, and forcing many animal, fish and plant species to the brink of extinction. In other words, mankind is murdering the planet. Please, for the sake of us all and future generations, put the Least Chub on the Endangered Species list and protect its future. It may be tiny, but it is an important link in the chain! |

We reap what we sow. Removing the Least Chub will remove one more in our food chain. Suffice to say, when we promised the Native Americans to be the stewards of this land and all in it, we lied. I think it is time to either put-up or shut-up. Small wonder they believed we spoke with a forked tongue... |

Its always about the money, but there is no glory or spirit in the things money can buy! There is only one animal that is out of control, humans are the problem, you will not destroy this planet you will only destroy yourselves. Who will remember you or your gods and goddess when your extinct, gone. Mother Earth will still be here creating something else. Stop breeding, but no one want to hear that. You don't see it coming do you, I want you to know that I am laughing at your foolishness |
