The spotted owl seems doomed to extinction, despite the efforts of anti-logging environmentalists. The protections put in place the save the owl are not working, and spotted owls continue to be "replaced by a heartier feathered foe -- the barred owl," reports Fox News. Even though their futile efforts to stave off natural selection have failed, enviro-weenies still insist on keeping and expanding environmental restrictions.

The Audubon Society wants all old-growth logging banned and more tree-cutting restrictions on private land, if too late for the spotted owl then for the rest of the forest’s animals.

Typical of environmentalists to insist they be put in charge of what people can and cannot do with their own land. It's much easier and cheaper to use the police power of government to force people into not developing their land, than it is to buy the land on the free market and turn it into a nature preserve.
