Protect the Grizzly Bear
Target: Dirk Kempthorne, U.S. Secretary of InteriorSponsored by: Care2
But as more humans settled the Rockies, the great bear's numbers began to dwindle. By 1975, the Yellowstone grizzly was on the brink of extinction and was listed as endangered.
Under the Endangered Species Act, Yellowstone's bears have made a dramatic recovery - from just 200 bears in 1975 to roughly 600 today. But now the grizzly bear faces its biggest challenge ever: global warming.
One of the bear's primary food sources, the seed of whitebark pine trees, is disappearing. Scientists report that warmer temperatures are causing an explosion in the Yellowstone pine beetle population, leading to decimation of whitebark pine. In addition, more and more of the grizzly's range land is being opened to oil and gas development.
On May 1, the Bush Administration removed the Yellowstone grizzly from the Endangered Species List. Instead of undoing protections for grizzly bears, we should be guarding them more vigilantly than ever before, and taking decisive action to stop global warming.
Tell the Administration that you want to see grizzly bears protected and that they should re-list the bear today.

Please end the hunting of the Grizzly Bear. They are precious animals, and are very misunderstood.
Please END this atrocity !!!!!!
Grizzly Bears are precious animals that need our help!
We need to use our voice for those who have no voice, so that someone will speak up for us when we have no voice. Please allow all animals the habitat and right to live.
The Great Grizzly Bear is a slowly dying symbol of our nation's haritage. These great animals are not strong enough yet to survive without help. It is our responsibility to help these bears, so please place them back on the endanged species list until a such time when they are able to secure both the future of thier noble species and thier habitat. Due to issues of global warming this can create additional issues if they are not addresses and soon. So please protect the grizzly bear by relisting them on the endangered species list.
