Can America’s wild horses survive another four years of Bush?
George W. Bush styles himself a cowboy president. One job of cowboys is to claim the American wilderness for ranching, so it’s little surprise the Bush administration is behind a new effort to suppress- and perhaps slaughter-one of the last symbols of untamed America: our wild horses.

The Habit of Flesh Eating
The modern Vegetarian movement, much like the old, has brought determination and strength to their cause. Yet, unlike the older writers and activists — those noble poets who would spend a night on a hill in the wilderness, marvelling at the tears of the stars — unlike their ancestors, the modern Vegetarian movement has gained validity from science and literature.

Our Fellow Creatures
It is the notion of our time that non-human animals exist for the advancement of the human species. In whatever field — cookery, fashion, blood-sports — it is held that we can only be concerned with animals as far as human interests exist. There may be some sympathy for those animals, as to limit practices which cause excruciating suffering, but those may only be limited if they are brought to public light, and if legislators receive enough pressure from the public to change.

Certainly My Heart is Defective: It Breaks Too Easily
Most other members of my species, presumably cut from the same mold, seem not to be concerned over the institutionalized killing of animals for “food.”
Yet, the mere thought of the fear and agony experienced by the “farmed” animals who are killed for no reason other than the greedy desire for the taste of their flesh breaks my heart… My heart must be defective.

AUTHOR: Dan Hansen, Spokesman Review Staff writer
The Nez Perce Tribe, which rarely appeals federal timber sales, has filed its second challenge over a single proposal in the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho.
The tribe worries that the North Lochsa Face “forest restoration project” will foul streams that are important to native fish, tribal chairman Samuel Penney wrote in a press statement on Friday.
The project is designed to fix an area that foresters say is overly packed with stunted trees and brush, while simultaneously providing more browse for a declining elk herd. Nez Perce Tribe files new appeal of Bitterroot timber sale »»

OLYMPIA — The Bush administration picked a sunny day, with the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge as a bracing photo backdrop, to put a smiling face on its controversial environmental policies.
The face belonged to Interior Secretary Gale Norton, who at her appearance yesterday linked President Bush with the Republicans’ greatest conservationist, Theodore Roosevelt, and peppered her remarks with references to “communication,” “consultation” and “cooperation.”
Norton did, however, flash the drill-bit teeth of Bush energy policies. She delivered a lengthy defense of the administration’s plan to drill for oil in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, greatest of the nation’s bird and animal sanctuaries. Bush smiles at environment, but teeth are fangs »»
