Kieran Suckling Species Quotations

Pombo's bill would rip the heart out of the Endangered Species Act. It would leave the act in tatters.

Species on the candidates list are allowed to languish for decades without protection. This is an agency policy used to prevent people from filing listing petitions.

This bill takes a wrecking ball to our nation's most important wildlife protection law. The Endangered Species Act is the safety net for America's imperiled plants and animals. The Republican dominated House of Representatives have ripped it apart, consigning God's creation to extinction.

That's a species that could go extinct because of this.

The Endangered Species Act has been remarkably successful. Humpback whales, bald eagles, (and) brown pelicans ... are just a few of the species that are recovering quite nicely.
