According to a January 14 Associated Press news wire, the state of Alaska announced its plans to challenge the federal decision to protect Cook Inlet beluga whales under the Endangered Species Act in court. NOAA's Fisheries Service declared the whales, with a population of roughly 300, an endangered species on October 17, 2008.
News releases go on to say that Governor Sarah Palin opposes the listing of the Cook Inlet belugas because of "the impact it could have on major Alaska development projects, including oil and gas development and expanding the Anchorage port." The city of Anchorage is situated on Cook Inlet.
Governor Palin needs to know that the American people put the planet's endangered species before state-specific projects and shipping port expansions!

Even though Palin is gone, I don't have much confidence in any of our politicians doing the right thing for our future. I hope I'm wrong about you and that you will robustly protect the Cook Inlet white whales and Never increase industrialization around the beluga habitat at all.

How can you look in to the face of animals and kill them?!!! You are a truly terrible person, you think with you money instead of thinking of the animals first when doing things.

When will you learn. This planet is dying we have less than a few years to correct this before it is too late for all. We can do that by stopping oil spills and preventing the food changes from being destroyed. It is time to do your job. Us that can't speak are asking you to for us. Thank you.
