A million $ a year, gained in oil revenues , or vs: a bird, doomed by the mighty dollar, forever, to extinction, by humans.(Alberta city, oil company apply to court to quash sage grouse protection)<br />Personally, I very much fear that this creature of our world will very soon join the long list of extinction,as with the Passenger Pigeon, the Do- Do bird, the Labrador duck, the Great Auk and countless others that humans have managed to eliminate. I hope to be proven wrong.<br />It is sadly apparent that our so called Environmental / Conservation Ministers <br />during the years have characterized Rip Van Winkle on this file.<br />What are your thoughts on this, or do you really care.?<br />John Fefchaknoreply@blogger.com
