		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;[…] Sorry Jaguars, but we’re going to have to let you become endangered to keep out illegal immigrants. […]&lt;/blockquote&gt;

they are already in endangered because of humans killing them. Do you really want them extinct?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;While I would LOVE to see a viable breeding population here in the US, I don’t think USF&amp;WS can reasonably justify spending it’s limited resources on these few cats. Doesn’t sound like a viable population to me either. 
It’s my understanding, that only males have been detected in AZ. This comes from both USF&amp;WS and the Borderlands Jaguar Detection Project. 
Given the limited resources (and support from this administration), I’d rather see them spend time and money on other species, ones that might actually benefit. …Like the Ivory Billed Woodpecker for instance. JMO&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In 1963 they found a pregant female in the united states. Just because noone has seen females does not mean they are not in the united states. Jaguars need our help too.</description>

		<description>Fence = Incompetence.  It is a boondoggle.  A PR solution that accomplishes NOTHING as far as securing our boarders and damages our environment needlessly.</description>

		<description>I am all for border security, but the fence is just a another in a long line of dumb ideas to come out of the Bush Administration.  

People, the fence won&#039;t work!  We need more boots on the ground, period.  

The fence is a simple solution for simple minds that have no idea what it really takes to secure a border.</description>

		<description>I live in the Southwest, and was born in the Southwest.  I am a conservationist, and a patriot.  I care about the welfare of people and wildlife. Some of the racism expressed above is downright ugly and sad.  I&#039;ve seen this fence in person: it is ugly and sad too.  The immigration problem is a serious one that our country needs to tackle at its roots - we need immigration reform and we need to come up with ways to help both the US and Mexico&#039;s economies thrive, so that Mexicans aren&#039;t fleeing their country in search of basic labor and a chance at a better life for their families.  

Obviously a fence will not solve the root problems driving illegal immigration, and is a shameful waste of tax dollars.  It isn&#039;t effective either -- people are scaling it and tunneling under it right now.  The engangered jaguar is caught up in this mess, and it&#039;s habitat is being fragmented to pieces by this wall. The chances of the American jaguar recovering and reclaiming its rightful place in the wildlands of our country is being compromised.  Did you know the jaguar once roamed as far north as the Grand Canyon, and stalked across parts of Louisiana?  Our government&#039;s unwillingness to develop a plan to recover this magnificent cat is a testament to an administration that has done nothing but unravel environmental protections and drag it&#039;s feet on pressing environmental issues (e.g. global warming, deforestation) from day one to satisfy its corrupt corporate donors.  Not only do we need immigration reform, we need stronger campaign finance reform to keep big money and special interests out and restore our democracy. Restore and protect our natural heritage. We need to tackle our problems proactively and collaboratively, not with hatred and divisiveness. Wake up America!</description>

		<description>&quot;This is an outrage! as a wildlife biologist i am sickened more and more each day by our government’s lack of appreciation for everything we have.

No asshole, the outrage is directed at YOU for not giving a flying f*ck about PEOPLE who have to deal with the WORTHLESS vato gangbangers every day in the Southwest.</description>

		<description>artfulife - don&#039;t try to sound smart by using vocabulary that is out of your reach.  it sounds worse to me than being vulgar.  High five. have fun burying your opinions. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;–AreYouOffended -That is fucking CLASSIC…. Or go watch “Flavor of Love”, like I give a fuck.
Wow, and you have the nerve to call me retarded? It is much easier to detect YOUR level of intelligence from that vitriolic reply.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
