There is a vote tomorrow in the United States Congress over the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. Stopping Keystone will also help prevent a wolf kill by poison in Canada. You can go here to find petitions to sign supporting the stop of the pipeline. The links to the petitions are on our sister site Luna canus.
It seems it is not only politicians in the U.S. that are in the pocket of and willing to lie for the big oil companies. The politicians north of the border in Canada seem to be just as money-grubbing as the ones here at home.
In Canada the problems are already presenting themselves from this dirty and environmentally destructive way to make the big oil firms a few more pieces of silver.
The process of removing the oil from the tar sands has had a major impact on the caribou population and sadly the process is not stopping there. Instead of reducing the environmental impact on the caribou habitat by Keystone XL, the Canadian government in all its wisdom has come up with a far cheaper solution.
So what action will Canada Oh! Canada, take to save the caribou from this environmental destruction? Why it is actually quite simple! They will poison the wolf population in the area! Yeah!! One big wolf kill, that should do the trick.
Obviously less wolves will mean more caribou and with more caribou Keystone can continue to rape the environment for their profit. The more profit Keystone makes then the more they pay off the politicians so that more animals and habitat can be destroyed and then they can make even more money and the dirty little wheel spins.
This is exactly the type of corporate greed and government compliance with business desires that has brought our entire world to the brink of environmental ruin.
While moronic tea bagger conservative Republicans like Louis Gohmert tell Americans that pipelines are good for our nation because they somehow give our wildlife a place to go on dates, we have other morons in Canada killing off every living thing they can think of.
Hey, it is a good thing for people though. After all, we can try to live in a desolate wasteland devoid of plants and animals because we can trust those who keep power through oil companies profits will provide for us. Right?
Sadly by the time it is all said and done, after the water is polluted, the land barren and the wildlife all dead the only thing left will be starving people and a massive cleanup project that will need to be paid for. Guess who will pay for that clean up? Not the oil companies or the politicians. No it will be our tax dollars that pay for that while the energy companies and their political minions go look for another habitat to destroy.
Look at what is happening in Canada.
Destroyed habitats. Wildlife die offs. Now the poisoning of the wolves.
Is this what we want imported into the United States?
You can read much more of what is happening in Canada and why the wolves are being poisoned by visiting The National Wildlife Federation.
Poisoning the wolves is a pathetic attempt to right things that have gone terribly wrong and placing the fault on wildlife not on interfering and stupid politicians.
