Bush/Cheney: Don't Play Politics With Our Wildlife!
Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
The Bush/Cheney Administration's politically-motivated draft "recovery plan" for northern spotted owls threatens to undermine years of progress in protecting these owls and the old-growth forests they need to survive.
Urge officials at the Fish & Wildlife Service to scrap the current plan and reconvene the Northern Spotted Owl Recovery Team to develop a real recovery plan that benefits the spotted owl, not just the timber industry.
There's just a few days left to take action. The Fish & Wildlife Service will only be accepting comments on this draft recovery plan until this Friday, August 24th, so thank you for standing up for the northern spotted owl today.
Read our "fast facts" about northern spotted owls and the draft "recovery plan."

If we are to survive as a specie we need to step back and reconsider what we are doing to Mother Earth. Leave our precious wildlife and the ecosystems to revive and survive what trauma has already been applied. Love and balance is essential for all to live in peace and harmony. There are too many who pay heed to greed as opposed to the gift of life and that which sustains it in all it's forms. Learn to treasure the wisdom and home of all elders and in turn teach the young to do the same by example. Bush/Cheney do not. Please do not allow them to continue the current destruction of all species, including their own. We are all interwoven within the tapestry of life..

I oppose the politically-motivated draft "recovery plan" because we need more old forests for these species to survive.Save the wildlife for your Great Granchildren to see.It would be such a shame to only see pictures of them in books like the "Dodo"

Old growth Forests MUST be conserved for the protection of our fast dwindling species including the spotted Owl.There are other ways of sustaining the timber industry without destroying the old growth Forests.

My wife and I have been California State Park docents for five years, doing nature studies with children, an ideal way to introduce kids to the importance of ecolological balance and to God's wonders. Help us preserve the natural world so that children will continue to have the chance to know the natural and the spiritual kingdom.

The health of our wildlife is a reflection of the health of our environment/world. We need to make tough decisions to protect what is most dear to us~our eco environment.

owls have a life too. no matter if they need our love/support or not, don't ruin their lives. keep their lives successful and allow them to strive and be wild as they were born to be, DO NOT ruin them because of your own pleasure/wants, wildlife matters more than anything else destructive.
