There’s No Such Mouse!?
Check out AP this story:
The Preble’s meadow jumping mouse, once seen as a costly impediment to development, is now viewed by the government as a critter that never really existed — and is no longer in need of federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.
The Interior Department said Friday that new DNA research shows the 9-inch mouse, which can launch itself a foot and a half into the air and switch direction in mid-flight, is probably identical to another variety of mouse common enough not to need protection.
So a mouse that needed federal protection, and was an impediment to evil human developers, turns out to be a common ordinary mouse that is “common enough not to need protection.”
“Oops… well, they looked cute.”
