Comment on Tribal cop sues Border Patrol over high-speed chase by brian zazueta

brian zazueta — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:19:23 +0000

I am returning home from the hospital today after my wife and I were involved in a vehicle collision in Benson caused by a high speed chase involving the border patrol. Thank God we are both alive and able to at least type this message. Unfortunately the occupants of the other vehicle were not so lucky. These agents need to get a grip on what they are doing on our highways..They are obviously not trained well enough to handle incidents like this so they need to come up with a better plan before more people are killed!!!

Comment on Endangered birds at risk in Southwest, biologists say by Sheri

Lena, I don’t mean to put a damper on your activism, but there is nothing new or particularly urgent about the subject of this lawsuit. It’s about improper administration of the Endangered Species Act and lack of responsiveness to public input, not about any imminent threat to the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher.

IMO, lawsuits and attempts at captive breeding are last resorts, when all other efforts (including habitat preservation, the issue behind this lawsuit) have failed. The Southwestern Willow Flycatcher is nowhere near that point yet. For more on the bird’s past and current status, please read this report:

http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2008/1303/of2008-1303.pdf

For more on the Endangered Species Act, including the *actual* numbers of species, subspecies, and populations of plants and animals currently listed/proposed as Threatened or Endangered, see this page:

http://www.fws.gov/endangered/wildlife.html

Ignoring scientists and environmental organizations and “creatively” interpreting the regulations it’s charged with enforcing are just business as usual for the current administration. It won’t be the immediate change we might hope for, but there’s ample reason to believe that the incoming administration will restore transparency, accountability, and science to management of our natural resources.

Action is needed NOW. Contact experts to capture for breeding (like the successful California Condor project). This takes grassroots enrollment and involvement to push for immediate change.

Not enough stories report the thousands of species on the brink of extinction in the USA. Thanks for reporting.
