![]() This is Government Oversight and Special Interest Groups and exactly what you get when the 2 are forces are combined and it's a very slippery slope!
NOAA has a 7 BILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL BUDGET they want to keep. I don't know about the rest of you but that sounds like a lot to me. I guess with all that money they look for things to focus on to keep that funding going. Don't we have more important problems our government should be working on? 10 years ago whales were hardly ever spotted in our waters. Now there are so many, we have a bunch of thriving whale watching tour businesses all up and down the NE coast. Even Sea Streak here in NJ has whale watching tours. Google "Save the Whales" and you'll see all the organizations and money behind it. The search results go on forever. Do you think they have some money and influence to throw at this? They certainly do... So what's next? I don't know the numbers but I would image 10s of thousands of deer are killed each year by cars and trucks just in the US... If all a sudden some special interest deer group gets the ear of the government are they going to want to decrease our speed limits? This needs to be stopped in it's tracks and we all need to take a stand now!
