We are officially Predators

Shame on us all for emitting that poisonous, un-natural C0 and C02!

May God have mercy on our mortal souls!

The polar bears!  The polar bears!  What have we done?!

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Interior Department is listing the polar bear as a threatened species because of declining Arctic sea ice.

MMMmmmmm...  Polar bear steaks...  They're delicious especially after a Spotted Owl Buffalo Wing appetizer. 

Declining Arctic Sea ice???  Just the opposite was true in Antarctica last year.  What a bunch of morons!

This declaration could be more wide-spread than you think and may affect more than you think.  This insightful, if dark, commentary was posted by Hugh Hewitt today on his Blog at Townhall.com...perhaps alarmist?  These Glow-bull worming cultists won't be happy until were all living in caves and eating berries (oh, sorry, can't do that either because the Plants Rights Activists won't tolerate it.  I guess the only answer is to let the human species just die out (reference my post on this subject from yesterday: http://tigersx.net/forum/index.php?topic=1546.0 ).

This from Hugh Hewitt at Townhall.com today:

...
The Endangered Species Act operates in a very unaccountable fashion, and if the polar bear is listed as a "threatened" species, every federal action --the grant of a permit, the award of a grant-- that leads even indirectly to the emission of greenhouse gases will come under at least the theoretical review of the United States Fish & Wildlife Service pursuant to Section 7 of the ESA.  MSM continues to report the controversy as though its impact will be limited to the arctic region, when in fact it is as likely to delay or destroy economic activity in any part of the lower 48 as it is in Alaska. 

The immediate response of impacted industries and consumers should be a series of test cases to force the delineation of the reach of the Act's application to the polar bear and the gases allegedly causing the destruction of its ice habitat, test cases brought  in jurisdictions most reasonable on such matters.  Allowing the ESA to slowly ensnare industries previously unregulated by its commands via suits in jurisdictions cherry-picked by environmental activists would be the worst possible result.

You know...  As I think about it, panda kabobs aren't that bad either, but it's a little gamey if you don't marinate the meat just right.

"YOU CANNOT HUNT PANDA!!!"

But can you eat it?

No, no, no, no...  You're just not permitted to hunt Panda.  That doesn't mean I cannot do it.

You'll have to ask Saniflush...he used to hunt Panda in Lower Alabama...

The Yeti are rampant in North Alabama, or so I've heard.

Just to give GarMan something else to chew on with this topic, Gov. Palin of Alaska has decided to fight back against the Feds over this Polar Bear Ruling.

This is from the AP via Breitbart.com (all emphasis is my own):

Governor says Alaska will challenge polar bear listing

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - The state of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species, Gov. Sarah Palin announced Wednesday.

She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state's northern and northwestern coasts.

Palin argued that there is not enough evidence to support a listing. Polar bears are well-managed and their population has dramatically increased over 30 years as a result of conservation, she said.

Climate models that predict continued loss of sea ice, the main habitat of polar bears, during summers are unreliable, said Palin, a Republican.

The announcement drew a strong response from the primary author of the listing petition.

"She's either grossly misinformed or intentionally misleading, and both are unbecoming," said Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity. "Alaska deserves better."

Siegel said it was unconscionable for Palin to ignore overwhelming evidence of global warming's threat to sea ice, the polar bear's habitat.

"Even the Bush administration can't deny the reality of global warming," she said. "The governor is aligning herself and the state of Alaska with the most discredited, fringe, extreme viewpoints by denying this."

The reaction of the Glow-bull worming cultist above is too laughable...
