Birds of prey need something to eat, and Pika’s are easy pickings. We have to save them! Do something, Dubya!
 Compared to the polar bear, the American pika is downright tiny.
Weighing only 4 ounces to 6 ounces, this small, rabbit-like mammal with thick brown hair that lives on boulder-covered slopes near alpine meadows in western US mountain ranges, could represent the latest effort to use the Endangered Species Act to combat global warming.
Environmentalists filed a lawsuit today in US district court in Sacramento, California, to force the Bush administration to decide whether to list the pika for protection under the act.
The lawsuit claims the animal is threatened by rising temperatures and says the US fish and wildlife service has dragged its feet for months on whether to list it.
Last time I checked, that is not what the Environmental Protection Act was about, especially when the Pika’s are really not being eliminated, and there are more then plenty of them. I can’t wait till the environmentalists try and get the Lemming is put under protection 8;)
