AP: Companies get OK to harm, annoy polar bears
Edited on Sat Jun-14-08 01:41 PM by halliburtonsux

Please forward the following news item to *EVERY PERSON ON YOUR LISTS* and *EVERY MEDIA OUTLET.*

AP: Companies get OK to harm, annoy polar bears 14 Jun 2008 Less than a month after declaring polar bears a threatened species because of global warming, the Bush regime is giving oil companies permission to annoy and potentially harm them in the pursuit of oil and natural gas. The Fish and Wildlife Service issued regulations this week providing legal protection to seven oil companies planning to search for oil and gas in the Chukchi Sea off the northwestern coast of Alaska if "small numbers" of polar bears or Pacific walruses are incidentally harmed (!?!) by their activities over the next five years. Environmentalists said the new regulations give oil companies a blank check to harass the polar bear.
