Bush Administration provides oil companies permission to annoy and potentially harm polar bears in the pursuit of oil and natural gas

It is the money in the bank accounts of Halliburton, ConocoPhillips Co., Shell Oil Co. and five other companies for $2.6 billion that really matters. Polar Bears will now get wiped out because Bush and his oil company friends want to give more to the oil giants instead of protecting the really endangered species – the polar bear in the Artic.

Less than a month after declaring polar bears a threatened species because of global warming, the Bush administration 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.

Polar bears or Pacific walruses will be severely harmed by the activities of the oil companies over the next five years.

About 2,500 of the 20,000 polar bears in the Arctic live in and around the Chukchi Sea. The Bush Administration gave the oil companies a blank check to harass these polar bear and eventually wipe them out from the earth.

The changes in their environment. vibrations, noises, unusual scents and the presence of industrial equipment disrupts the polar bears’ quest for prey and their efforts to raise their young in snow dens. They eventually get wiped out. That is why polar bears are getting wiped slowly and steadily.
