Bush/Cheney: Don't Play Politics With Our Wildlife!
Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
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."

The old growth forests need to be protected now more than ever, to offset global climate change.

This administration won't be happy until it owns the rights to everything on earth! At least give WILDLIFE a break.

The Bush/Cheney administration needs to start caring more about the environment and leave the wilderness alone, the lives of these owls and other wildlife needs to be put into consideration.

I am running out of words to protest the idiocy of Homo sapiens. We are a greedy, destructive race of creatures that will vanish without a trace. Unfortunately, we're going to take the vast majority of the planet's life forms with us, but She will recover. And neither She nor the Universe will give a ***t when we're gone!

As a camper, I am opposed to turning national properties over to commercial interests--I believe they belong to all of us and no one should be allowed to deplete them. And that goes for the animals who live there too. They need our protection no matter where their travels take them. It's horrifying to see large naked swaths of denuded land left by a corporate interests. I oppose your recovery plan. Too many decisions are politically motivated--and that means terrible things for our wildlife.

nature is selfless, so we MUST give back what the human race has selfishly taken advantage of.

Trees and plants alike filter our air and provide my of our fellow animals with shelter and nourishment. How about you two stop being so heartless and show a bit of empathy to the United States and the world.

I think we need trees more than we need tons of neighborhoods popping up everywhere, where the only kind of nature you see is a tree planted in the side walk with a fence around it... Step up!
