"For biologists who do endangered species analysis, my experience is that the majority of them are ordered to reverse their conclusions [if they favor listing]. There are other biologists who will do it if you won't," said the biologist, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

It seems that the maintenance of the bosque is hampered because there is a bird that's endangered that's supposed to live there. No one's seen one for very many years, but you never know there might be a couple in there somewhere, so we just just let the bosque grow thick with underbrush so a couple of birds no one has seen can live there, maybe, and we do the best we can to put them out before someone's house or business is burned down or someone dies. There's a children's shelter down there that had to evacuated twice in about a week's time a couple of years ago. That's cool. Just don't disturb them birds.

Grady, thanks for a fine example of hwat I was saying about getting "politics" out of science. For many years ultra left enviro-nuts have USED science to further "their" agenda. It all started with a FAKE book about DDT. Everyone know the story of how DDT was destroying the ecosystem back in the 60's. But few know the data was all FAKE as the author has finally admitted. DDT was never found to be causing the genetic mutations it was blamed for.
It is sad so many on this site are so "braindead" they can't see the truth. Liberalism is a mental disorder. The entire existence of science is for the betterment of mankind, not the suppression. The endangered species act is a complete joke and should be repealed. The fish and wildlife department is over run with "enviro-hero" delusional morons. They need to be silenced. Well in fact the entire department should be closed.

paraphrase from link: synthetic hormones being released into nature via pesticides and/or waste disposal cause ANY male species that is exposed to develop reproductive disorders, and in fact take on many female charachteristics... sometimes this actually causes a shrinking of the male sexual organ to such a small size that reproduction becomes physically impossible...
it has been studied in fish, alligators, birds, and small mammals. similiar results in each... just from being in an area that is contaminated for a short time. (the contaminants are absorbed by fat within the body).

Return of science and not political activisim. Science has been corrupted by the liberal agenda for 40 years now.
It's time science return to science.
If a radical enviro wants to save the wetlands then go save the wetlands. Just don't do it on MY tax dollars.

Yes. As are the hormone-like components of pesticides and other environmental contaminants. And I'm not even going to talk about Mad Cow.
PS. Be careful DrH, your inconsistencies are showing.

No sythetic hormone components are real, the myth of the tie to DDT isn't. Near-Estrogen contamination is a real issue and has many sources. DDT is a stable compound.
