Whooping cranes mean more than people.

This does not need to be an expensive government program.

Neither does welfare, but it is.

There are already way too many cuts to conservation programs as it is. Are we only supposed to save species that are economically valuable? No. I'm not saying it should be the other way, either. Just because it doesn't have an obvious value, doesn't mean it isn't worth saving.

The whooping crane could do wonders for our ecotourism. It's just another piece to the puzzle. It's a species that can't be seen everywhere, just like many of our species down here.

DB already pointed out the finances of the program. If people don't like where money from taxes that are for the PURPOSE OF WILDLIFE RESTORATION are going, then don't buy a hunting license. This is wildlife restoration.

WHOA!!! Is that chick in the cage.....NAKED!?!?!?!
