<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Two Florida icons facing extinction]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Biodiversivist http://www.grist.org/article/dont-let-turtles-go-the-way-of-the-pink-flamingo/ Thu, 02 Nov 2006 04:50:56 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/dont-let-turtles-go-the-way-of-the-pink-flamingo/1 This is great Andrew, really great

Eveybody, get over to this site and sign this petition. I really like the way it shows how many people have signed it, including their names. Bush is especially sensitive to environmental issues right now for some strange reason. Strike while the iron is hot...I am full of idioms today.

In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Help acquire and protect ecological hotspots, give to a conservation organization: http://www.saveourbiodiversity.com

We shall see, Biodiv.  Still, sure, the petition is a great idea, and I indeed signed it at once.

The Oceana research on "authorized" by-catch of seaturtles is amazing, and very important.  Well done!  It is horrifying, how the regulatory agencies can so blithely give the green light to such terrific losses.

Another famous Florida reptile was just in the news: the at present not endangered alligator.  I guess I saw the story in CNN.com.  It seems the state's wildlife conservation agency wants to delist alligators from the "endangered" category, and let home-owners deal with visiting alligators on their own.  This sounds like a really really bad suggestion.  What do you think, Andrew?

Chickens are our cousins! So are other sensitive animals! Enough is enough! No more factory farms!

I could live with that. They can always be put back on the list if things go wrong. They have become very common.
