Do ravens have lobbyists?

I have little doubt ravens find the Endangered Species Act pretty irritating, because it leads to being radio-tagged, followed and experimented on by California biologists eager to save desert tortoises and terns… but the rest of us should take note of this from LA Audubon:

URGENT ACTION ALERT!

26 Sep 2005

TELL CONGRESS NOT TO GUT THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT!

Representative Richard Pombo (R-CA) and other lawmakers are rushing through the House of Representatives a bill that would gut the Endangered Species Act, our nation’s core program aimed at bringing back birds and wildlife from the brink of extinction. Congressman Pombo’s “Extinction Bill” H.R. 3824 is scheduled for a vote on the House floor as early as September 29! Take action today! The ESA is the reason why we still have the Bald Eagle, the California Condor, the gray wolf, the pacific salmon, and many other species that faced certain extinction.
