Ongoing Grizzly Bear Discussion

grizzThe Sierra Club, et al, are seeking a “re-listing” as it were of grizzly bears (which were taken off the endangered species list May 1, 2007.) They think that grizzlies aren’t protected enough and that only they can save them.

The things I find interesting about this situation include the fact that none of those groups seem to live where grizzlies do. They sit back in Washington, file their spurious lawsuits and try to intimidate lawmakers into doing something that has no need of doing.

Another thing I find interesting is that they somehow have the misguided idea that bears (or whatever other endangered group) is more important than the people. I find that remarkably similar to the misguided idea some people have that the “right” to medical treatment of an illegal alien is somehow more important than the “right” of one who is legal (and has paid into the system for years.)

With a host of other things about this that range from reasonable to absurd, I’m going to stop. The courts will decide how this should go — not the people who are elected, who live and work here, who have some important input — the courts. Those people who know the least about this whole thing will decide how it should be for everyone. You gotta give one thing to liberals: they know how to work the system.
