I've never seen a passenger pigeon. Neither have I seen a Great Auk or a Dodo (other than some politicians). As far as I'm concerned, I haven't missed a damned thing.
Any dirt-munchin', tree-huggin' druid serving in the government that places the welfare of any species above that of human beings deserves to flogged, tarred and feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail with a spotted owl hung 'round his or her neck! If one of those ignorant fools found a live T-Rex, they'd try to designate it as an endangered species and the public be damned.
Besides, the damned owls probably snuck across the border anyway - deport 'em!
Rare Spotted Owl Threatens 'The Town Too Tough to Die'?

The rare Mexican Spotted Owl is threatening the very survival of the iconic Old
West town as its presence could halt repair work to a water pipeline built the
very same year that Doc Holliday and the Earp Brothers shot down three cowboys
in the most notorious gunfight of all time.
Without the work, summer
monsoon floods are almost certain to wash the old pipeline away and leave the
historic wooden town without water, reports CNN.
The 26-mile pipe was left vulnerable by wildfires
last year that destroyed acres of vegetation and left hillsides denuded and
susceptible to mudslides. But now the U.S. Forest Service says the owl, which
was thought to have been driven out by the fire, must be protected.
The
feds banned heavy construction equipment, CNN said, but a group calling itself
the Jarbridge Shovel Brigade was toiling on the pipeline by hand. All was going
well until this week when a confirmed sighting of the owl put even that effort
in doubt.

Courts should force them to demonstrate harm to a species before cutting off water to towns and farms on Speculation of possibly theoretically some potential harm could maybe exist if a project has no contact with and animal species.
At the very least justify how a tree living bird is going to be influenced by repairing an underground pipe . In Particular an Animal that makes it's home behind Kmart signs.
Possible at the bottom of all this is more of Agenda 21 ?

Since when are people that are so hostile to the existence of humanity allowed to be in positions of power?!
