Latest victims of Arizona’s illegal immigration fiasco: Black Bears
Read Time:1 Minute, 28 Second
The bears are not represented in Washington. After all people are barely represented by America’s politicians. Our elected representatives are spending too much time “representing” their fat cat donors to worry about what’s really happening to us, much less our defenseless bears.
The story summary of the beleaguered bears:
They’re seeing their homeland divided by a border fence—and with very little say in Washington, there’s not much they can do about it. The fence along the border of Arizona may pose a threat to … black bear migration, researchers say. Using pieces of barbed wire to catch fur samples, experts discovered that black bears in Arizona’s border area have close relatives in northern Mexico, and the population near the border is far less dense than it is up north, the New York Times reports.
The more northern population has a bigger habitat less affected by development. The border, however, is a key area for bears: It’s the southern limit for many North American populations and the northern limit for South American ones. Now, bear advocates are asking Homeland Security to consider the plight of bears when working on border solutions, and they hope the new research might lead to novel ideas. As for the immigration issue itself, “we’re not weighing into that debate,” says a researcher.
Why is that Homeland Security didn’t take this into consideration when building a barrier between two countries? No doubt because of pressure from Washington, that was receiving pressure from Arizona, or they just didn’t know or care. If they didn’t know they should have. Clearly an environmental study wasn’t conducted or if it was the bears were ignored. They are, after all just bears. It’s very sad. What do you think about immigration and the bears?
