Déjà vu as in "Here we go again." manatee status


Yes I know I am repeating myself, get the point?

Possible manatee status change strikes balance for supporters, worries environmentalists


Today’s article in the Daily Commercial newspaper it is plain as the nose on your face as to where Chuck Underwood, a regional spokesman The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to go with this because of the statements made by him in the article, or he hasn’t a clue as to the laws governing his office?

(Officials have heard a “wide variety of presumptions based on what people think could happen” if the status is changed to threatened, said Chuck Underwood, a regional spokesman for the Wildlife Service. “The petitioners think if we reclassify, they get one step closer to removing speed zones. Plain and simple, they’re wrong.”)

Plain and simple Chucky, you are wrong, it could mean the next step is the removal of the speed signs and you know this, or at least should know this.

(On the other side, there are those who “think it’s going to weaken protections,” Underwood said. “You don’t reclassify from endangered to threatened and then immediately take away all the things that contributed to the improvement.”)

In this statement you are half right and you should know this also, no you will not immediately take away all the things the habit from your Fish and Wildlife Service has been one step at a time.

Boating organizations, private property owners and the Pacific Legal Foundation want fun at all cost and can pay well to get it.

Once again for information that seems to be missing in and around the office of Chuck Underwood, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

According to federal law, endangered status means the species is “in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.”Threatened is defined as “likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.”

So, why would the government change the classification to threatened, if a return to endangered status would be expected?

New today Fresh from Florida


Cows have been in Florida since the 15 century.

North America’s first cattle were brought in the 15 century by Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon.

So, cattle have been doing their thing all of this time in Florida, ranchers and fertilizer companies have been mixing fertilizer with chemical all this time and run off from watering, rain, and weather, have been dumping into the water of Florida all of the time.

Still, the ‘specialists’ of Florida cannot figure out what has been killing off the animal life, fish and plant life in the waters of Florida?

(water plant food not to be confused with land food).

Makes one ponder many questions about the ‘experts’ of Florida?

This is not counting the lowering of the lakes, rivers, and streams because Florida ‘experts’ are giving the fresh water away to outside bottling companies at an unbelievable fast rate?

So, There are nearly 1 million head of calves and cattle in Florida.

Seven of the nation’s 25 largest cattle ranches are in Florida, according to the Florida Beef Council.

Despite ranking 10th nationally in the number of cattle, Florida ships the majority of them — 700,000 feeder calves, to other states.

However, the leftover from raising cattle remains in the land and waters of Florida?

Beef is a 2 billion dollar industry but will not be on the list is Florida.

Great for the farmers and ranchers.

Stinks for the rest of the people in Florida including our visitor!

Now the farmers and ranchers want to also build slaughter houses and processed plants in Florida?

State department of Aquaculture hopes to made Fresh from Florida for all kinds of food from alligator meat to oranges.

Beef will not be on the list because most cattle raised in Florida are shipped elsewhere to be processed.

Pets not welcome


Welcome to my visitor from the Texas Christian University


In

City Fort Worth Texas


To my posting about my stops at hotels, motels and Inns while on teaching/travels around Indian country.


This subject needs to be addressed, how be it as delicately as possible, because it is another question about religion many Native Americans want to understand?

Pets welcome, NOT!

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”~ Mahatma Gandhi.


Islam and animals

The Qur'an strongly enjoins Muslims to treat animals with compassion and not to abuse them.

The animals, together with all creatures, are believed to praise God, even if this praise is not expressed in human language.


Once again, I am not allowed to judge however, if I were to question?

"What happened to the teaching of the Quran and/or the teaching of one of the greatest people to walk this planet"?

Indians, Dot not Feathers, to me would seem to be leaving their religion at the border while working in this country?

While on these many travels and pulling into a 'pet friendly' hotel, motel or Inn and state that we have a pet, Breanna has traveled all over with no mishaps and makes friends at every stop however, the look on the faces and the treatment at some stops still tell the true story and we must wonder if this is known to the main office?

Come to think about it the Holy Bible, your words not mine? Teacher to love all of Gods creation yet Christians are killing everything on the planet at well?
