Senate votes to populate Alaska with more black bears
Satire
The US Senate voted a few days ago, by a margin of 51-49, to increase the population of lack bears in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge.
Environmental groups have expressed outrage over this vote, which confuses Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK). "We plan to reintroduce a species of bear into the wilderness that has not been seen for some time," said Senator Stevens, "Environmental groups should be applauding this initiative."
According to Stevens office, the introduction of the black bear into ANWR calls for drilling a new habitat into the soil, under the assumption that the drilling will help native polar bears evolve into black bears.
"That's not evolution," said environmental activist Kent Bravnan. "That's essentially covering polar bears with oil and calling them black bears and that just doesn't fly."
Some bloggers have already begun to take up senator Stevens' cause by questioning Bravnan's sanity and patriotism. |
