Resolved Question: Endangered species act(s), are they just political?
I was doing some online research on the great white shark… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_shark … I came across a section of the web page titled conservation status. Though the conservation status did NOT list the great white shark as an endangered species it did state… No accurate numbers on population are available, but populations have clearly declined to a point where the great white shark is now considered endangered.
This type of GUESSTIMATION is what is most irritating to me. They have no dreaming idea of how many GWS’s are swimming in the oceans of the planet earth, but SUDDENLY, they are now considered endangered have been put on CITIES ‘appendix 2′ endangered species list.
My question is… has this endangered species game turned into big money profiteering back door (P)eople (C)ontrol(PC) by private entities like ‘CITIES’? These type of organizations eventually find a nook or cranny to get a toe hold into U.S. government then the ‘politicking’ starts shortly afterwards… the hunting/fishing bans, privately owned firearm issues, land/water use/access permits, taxes/fees the list goes on on on.
(Note)….here’s a few links. While NOT directly related to the above great white shark topic, it does carry the same ‘POLITICKING’ message I referred to above. It seems that the environmental or endangered wetlands are the POLITICAL excuse for regulating private business deemed ‘unwanted’ by some individual political activists…
