Free Condoms - 15
by J.R. Absher
 Sometimes here at the Outdoor Life Newshound, the blog just writes itself. And this week we have received an especially wonderful gift from a highly unlikely source—one of the country’s most radical environmental organizations, the Center for Biological Diversity. Based in Tucson, Ariz., the Center for Biological Diversity has made a name for itself primarily as an environmental litigious entity. Over the years it has successfully blocked everything from public land timber sales to expansion of water projects in the West through creative use of lawsuits and the court system. Probably the single largest target of this sue-happy group is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which can hardly even utter the phrase “endangered species delisting,” without hearing from a bevy of briefcase-toting CBD lawyers. On the hunting and shooting front, the CBD is a leader in the current effort to ban the use of lead ammunition by hunters in a growing number of Western states, based on its claims that lead fragments from bullets left behind in gutpiles threatened the California condor and other raptor species. Ordinarily, we wouldn’t give this group the time of day, but this week it launched a new project that we just can’t ignore. According to its own press material, the CBD is poised to launch the Endangered Species Condom Project later this month. And no, we’re not making this up. The promotion’s aim is to distribute free condoms wrapped in six different endangered-species-themed packages, with the goal of raising awareness about the alleged dire negative effects we humans have on the planet. By the way, the condoms are made for use by humans—not by endangered species (just wanted to clarify that). “The project will raise awareness about overpopulation’s serious impacts on our planet and spark, we hope, new conversations about the need to bring Homo sapiens back into balance with the rest of life on Earth,” CBD Executive Director Kieran Suckling wrote in a Jan. 27 email to supporters. Needless to say, we think you’ll agree it’s a great idea to distribute items used for birth control to as many of these extreme activists and their supporters as possible. Fact is, while reducing the propagation rate among radical environmental elements, we should encourage our hunters, anglers and shooters to go forth and multiply! So, we say to the Center for Biological Diversity—bravo! Pure genius!!

Ummmm... You do all realize that wildlife diversity is a GOOD thing, right? I'm not familiar with this group but their interests are not necessarily contrary to our own.
We all know what happens in the animal world when over population happens,diease and starvation eliminate the weak and unfirm.I guess it will come down to raising and harvesting our own food.As far as the condoms,go out on the big rivers an look at the willows lining the banks they are adorned like Christmas trees with used condoms flushed from sewer systems upstream I ain't eating the fish.

If only they'd develop permanant condoms and distribute them to the (fill in the blank with your own politically incorrect choice), we'd be miles ahead.
I would think this approach could go a long way in solving our current problems with health care in this nation
Putting their logo on blinders is more appropriate than on condoms.
i heard that one of the pre-requisites for joining this group was to have served a couple of years as a community organizer. then you go on to be the president. sky's the limit!!!
man that would be stinky now wouldnt it!
Brain Fluid? Patrick, these lower life forms are not advanced enough to have a brain, I doubt that they have much more than a neural sac. I was more concerned about the excess fecal material that they spew out.
your right bo we cant have the epa running around asking questions about brain fluid that came from the cbd!
CBD is a radical extremist group with an irrational environmental agenda, so I agree with the general sentiment of the comments expressed above. But this "project" or whatever they call it does raise an important issue for discussion. Eventually, this planet is going to have to deal with population growth. Habitat loss is a huge problem for hunters & fishermen and population growth is one of the primary causes of habitat loss. I don't trust groups like this one to be leading the discussion--that might lead to some draconian solution like China's one child rule.
I just hope that they have enough product to really make an impact on the population.
If these clowns are so concerned about bringing the Human population back into balance, why don't they lead by example and take a long walk off a short pier.
Also, I for one can't wait to piss on the latest idea from CBD.
But Patrick, if you cut their heads off someone could charge you with littering and/or dumping hazardous waste. Because that would definitely be defined as hazardous waste.
bo your to kind just neuter them how about well have you seen alice coopers stage show where he chops his own head off.well thats what they need to do chop there own heads off theres nothing in them worth keeping!
Now if someone would just neuter all of those wackos, which is a much more reliable form of birth control, and they would fade away...
