Support Proposal to List Polar Bears As "Threatened"
Target: U.S. Fish and WildlifeSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
Send in your public comment to support listing polar bears as a "Threatened" species!
Polar bears really need our help: according to government studies in recent months, more and more are starving to death, and more and more of their babies are dying before reaching adulthood. In fact, of polar bears studied between 1990 and last spring, only 25 cubs per 100 females survived. That's less than half the survival rate of polar bear cubs studied from 1967 to 1989!
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting public comments regarding the listing of polar bears as a "Threatened" species. In just 5 minutes, you can send in your public comment - just sign this petition.

This is a tragedy. Please list these beautiful animals as threatened, and help make Americans and the world aware of what we are doing to our planet, our wildlife, and ourselves. Thank you.

The ice caps are melting, the rest of the world is following our lead on dependancy on fossil fuel, without the regulations, (not as tough as they should be)that we impose on ourselves. China, India, the most populous, and fasest growing economies are buying, and sucking up all the petro chemicals that the industry can produce. WOW this is "An Inconvenient Truth"

You are the guardians of the peoples wildlife and I beg you to protect the polar bear. Starving is the most horrible death imaginable and now they are dying by this horrible method. Please aid us in placing them on the threatened wild life list. Thanks so much for your commitment to our wonderful natural resources as evidenced by these bears.

We have to start making important changes to slow and hopefully stop Global Warming. All living beings will be affected here on earth. Isn't that important enough to get started and do what is necessary to save us all.

It is critical for the survival of polar bears that they be listed as an endangered species. If we ignore their plight, the next species to be endangered will be ours!

Please list Polar Bears as "threatened"; the lives of these bears are precious to a diverse community of species and preserving them gives hope to the larger community of living beings.

More and more bears are starving to death, and more and more of their babies are dying before reaching adulthood. Their survival rate is less than half the rate it was in the 1970's and 80's! The threats polar bears face are monumental, and it will take decisive government action to help save them.

Since we are the ones destroying the earth that is resulting in the death of our precious animals, we need to take responsibility for saving all living creatures. If making Polar Bears on a specialized list to save them, then that is what we must do!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that when the polar bear is threatened WE ALL ARE! Please do the right thing and list them as "threatened".
