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.

If the Polar Bears go, who knows which life form will be next? Humans can't be far behind.

Please list polar bears as a Threatened species. We are responsible for destroying their habitat and it is disgusting.

ENDANGERED!!! CRITICAL !!! Soon may be EXTINCT !!! If ice melt doesn't drown them, hormone distrubting pollutants will prevent breeding.

Please don't let the polar bear be among the first furry victims of global warming. Let's make every effort to save them from extinction. First step: list them as threatened under the national endangered species act.

I would love my grandchildren and great grandchildren to see Polar Bears. Please push to list the Polar bears as threatened species! What a waste to lose such a beautiful animal in our world.

Since bears cannot speak for themselves and all our species depend on the same environment, their survival reflects the likelyhood of our own. Please act now.

Whatever you can do for these magnificent animals, please do it, and do it NOW. What a tragedy it would be if they were lost to us forever.

Corporate greed and weak leadership is destroying this planet. We need to change the course we are on. Elect leaders who care about the future of this planet and make the commitment to live more sustainably. We only have 20 to 30 years before the damage done is irreversable.

Polar Bears must be listed as threatened, although ultimately they will need to be listed as endangered. If we can't find a way to curb our excesses, no doubt we will be the next large animal to be so listed.

While this is not the only issue of concern to all of us, I request you proactively consider the future fate of this wildlife giving current trends and grant them at least some level of protection, whether it be "threatened" or another proactive, protective label.

With all due respect the polar bears ought never have had to come to this desparate situation which we caused by callous disregard for our environment and the habitats of creatures who share the earth with us. Please list the beautiful bears as "threatened" and take immediate action to protect the mothers and their cubs.

Human greed is killing the most magnificent examples of adaptation to extreme conditions on this planet. Human greed is going to kill off humans, too, unless the greediest ultra-wealthy humans are stopped. NOW.
