They’ve eaten Howard!<\/p><\/div>\n

     The radical environmentalist Left have increasingly started to declare that everything in nature has human rights, from the moon<\/a> to elephants<\/a>, and from mountains<\/a> to swamps<\/a>, in order to prevent anyone from utilizing these natural resources, even if such utility one of the rare non-CO2<\/sub> emitting energy sources, namely, hydroelectric energy from dams, to protect the human rights of fish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSalmon can\u2019t go to court, but the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe says the fish at the heart of its and other Northwest tribal cultures should have legal rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tribe has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Tsuladx\u02b7 in Sauk-Suiattle Tribal Court to assert those rights in the tribe\u2019s traditional territory in Washington\u2019s North Cascades.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018These rights include, but are not limited to, the right to pure water and freshwater habitat; the right to a healthy climate system and a natural environment free from human-caused global warming impacts and emissions,\u2019 the suit states.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Not just to declare that they have rights, but that also you and I have a duty to protect those rights,\u2019 said Jack Fiander, Sauk-Suiattle tribal counsel. \u2018We’re sort of like their trustee and they’re our minors.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suit accuses Seattle City Light of violating the salmon\u2019s and the tribe\u2019s rights by operating three dams on the Skagit River with no way for fish to get past them.<\/p>\n

\u201cGorge, Diablo, and Ross dams provide about one-fifth of the electricity used in Seattle with essentially zero impact on the global climate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     This isn\u2019t about being pro-nature; it\u2019s about being anti-civilization.<\/p>\n
