AR-News: (US) Saving Endangered Wildlife by Killing It?

[Animalconcerns]

At ceremonies two years ago in honor of Earth Day, President George Bush
stood beneath a giant sequoia and called for "a new environmentalism for
the 21st century." As fleshed out by his administration, this new
environmentalism prefers market-based incentives to government regulation
and elevates property rights over wilderness and species protection. It
is, in many ways, simply the environmental corollary to the
administration's broader deregulatory views.
...
Roosevelt's 'love them and kill them' approach is the obvious antecedent
of a new endangered species policy that the Bush Administration announced
this summer. As set forth in a draft document whose comment period expires
on Friday, the Administration plans to begin allowing hunters, zoos,
circuses and others to kill, capture, and import wildlife facing
extinction in other countries.
