Endangered Species

Leaping Lizards, Holy Cow, Rat Race gees what’s next?  The Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition asking the U.S. to put this lizard on the endangered species list.

Fish and Wildlife Service to grant an endangered species listing for the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard, which lives in the Permian Basin of West Texas. The Permian Basin is the most abundant oil-producing region in the lower 48 states and a vast sector of the Texas economy responsible for 68% of Texas’ production. The granting of an endangered listing for this little lizard would be a monumental economic disaster.

Other consequences would be devastating as well.  You can read that part of the article on your own.  My take on this is please, how much crazier can this society get? Do we really want to risk jobs and millions of dollars over a lizard?  I keep thinking I’ve heard it all, but I guess I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface. You know what’s next if you are a continuing reader of my blogs.  I’m going to throw in what the bible says.

Genesis 3:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”  So man has the authority to name, kill & eat animals.  God made John the Baptist & he ate locust.  Animal DOES NOT have dominion over us!

God killed the first animal and made clothing out of the animal skin for Adam and Eve to cover their nakedness.

Where do we draw the line?  What a lazy bunch of pathetic people we are that we never stand up for anything.  Please take a stand for something or continue to fall for anything!

Whether you are in Texas or any other state where an animal’s rights are infringing on our lifestyle or economy, please speak up!  Let your politicians know how you feel or better yet take your own poll and send it to them.
