VANCOUVER,  OTTAWA,  TORONTO– British Columbia Supreme Court
Justice James Shabbits on Sept-ember 3 ruled in response to a
petition from the Western Canada Wilderness Committee and
EarthJustice that Cattermole Timber Inc. may log 88 hectares of
old-growth spotted owl habitat because,  in Shabbits’ view,  the B.C.
Forest Practices Code includes no requirement that species be saved
from extirpation or extinction.
Such a requirement does exist in the U.S.,  where similar
cases have blocked or delayed logging throughout the Northwest,  but
not in Canada,  whose national endangered species protection law
still includes no enforcement provisions.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, September 2002:

WASHINGTON D.C.–Australia and New Zealand may be the most
bioxenophobic of nations, with Britain (page 9) not far behind, but
environmental eugenics have a strong following in the U.S. as well.
Attempting to eradicate non-native species from land holdings
is in fact official policy of the U.S. National Park Service, The
Nature Conservancy, and many other government agencies and
non-governmental organizations involved in conservation.
Paradoxically, some government agencies and nonprofit
hunting clubs are still translocating and introducing populations of
the same species that others are attempting to get rid of. Even as
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service moves to reclassify nonmigratory
giant Canada geese in the Great Lakes region as an “invasive” pest
species, for instance, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources
translocated 4,100 of the geese from the Detroit area to Chelsea,
Iowa, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources translocated
262 geese from Horicon to Black River Falls.
