There is a growing number of Americans who are sick and tired of the Sierra Clubs attack on the country and their incessant lawsuits. One of the biggest jokes out West is when people talk about the Spotted Owl. The spotted owl was on the endangered species list for years and each time a business wanted to cut down a tress for timber or to expand a business or build a log cabin, the Sierra Club would sue if they did not include in their Environmental Impact Report EIR they effect this would have on the spotted owl. Many a construction project, much need pipeline, utility power poll or road was not build due to the effect this might have on the hunting grounds of the Spotted Owl. Recently I was in a coffee shop and I was discussing with a friend the abusive lawsuits and junk court filings of the spotted owl. He asked me if I knew what those spots were for? I told him know, that I assumed it was like a Zebra or any other species which had such markings, it may have had some evolutionary reason for attracting a mate or possibly to blend into the scenery like camouflage to aid in hunting or to keep from being hunted. He said no silly. The real reason that those owls have spots is so you line up your rifle sights on them. They are like targets he explained. Well we both had a laugh, but then he said well we are going to have to kill them anyway. I asked why? He said they are very prone to be carriers of Bird Flu. Not sure if that is true but it kind of makes sense. Think on it. |
