USFWS---Your Public Comments Needed on the Oregon Spotted Frogs

10/24/2013

Comments

 

From the Oregon Liberty Coalition:
Forward to your Family and Friends in Oregon and Washington.

Please consider making a comment on the Oregon Spotted Frog, even if you do
not live in any of the Counties, the comments can be made anonymously.

The Action by the WildEarth Guardians is clearly a Cloward and Piven tactic to overwhelm the USFWS with claims to force a rushed decision as over 400 species have been ruled by a court order for a fast tract to designate habitat.

It is concerning that State land is being controlled by Bureaucrats in Washington where the jurisdiction should be the State and County by duly elected
Representation.

Let your voice be heard!

Included is a comment letter for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding its proposed designation of critical habitat in our area for the Oregon Spotted Frog.
Please copy or modify to make a comment on the proposed designation.
If you live or use these affected areas please include the impact that restrictions of human activities will have.

Here is the Proposed Rule for the Oregon Spotted Frog  http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FWS-R1-ES-2013-0088-0001http://1.usa.gov/1aeyh47

*******************************************************************************************************************
 I do not support the USFWS proposal that will designate critical habitat for the Oregon Spotted Frog (OSF) under the Endangered Species Act.

I'm concerned of what the designation of Critical Habitat will due to our Rural communities, as the abuse that was done with the Spotted Owl Critical Habitat has devastated the Northwest, with the lack of considering the economic impact.  It is stated that an economic impact is being prepared for the OSF , it is also stated that some of the areas have not been monitored or confirmed of the OSF presence or lack thereof. 

The result of Critical habitat designation is re-purposing property to essentially wildlife refuges where human activity is restricted. I reviewed the Proposal and do not see where the OSF is on the verge of a loss of continued existence, as the OSF is extant and occupies most of the areas identified for Critical Habitat, also the OSF lives in other locations across the Northwest. Only pockets are listed where the OSF is no longer present, that is not going extinct.

The fact that the Oregon Spotted Frog (OSF) is no longer located in many of the Historical locations is not an indication that it is the Habitat, as noted in the proposed rule, climate, introduction of non native predators, Trout – Bullfrogs and the chytrid fungus introduced by the African Clawed Frog have been a factor in the reduction of population.
