<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Polar bear decision expected today from Bush administration]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by caniscandida http://www.grist.org/article/loaded-for-bear/ Wed, 14 May 2008 03:16:04 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/loaded-for-bear/1 "couldn't be more clear"

The single most visible effect of global warming in Arctic ecosystems, the disappearance of sea ice, which makes life harder, both for carnivorous mammals such as the polar bear, and also for many other, smaller animals, should force us to wonder about this delay.

This would seem to be one of just about the easiest decisions regarding wildlife that could be made.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.
