DEMAND that Congress and the Fish and Wildlife Service revoke ExxonMobile's right to "take polar bears incidental to oil and gas industry exploration activities in the Beaufort Sea and adjacent northern coast of Alaska."

Petition Target: Mr. John Bridges, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

On September 20, the Fish and Wildlife service gave ExxonMobile the right to kill polar bears as part of their drilling/oil exploration in Alaska! Not only will drilling disturb polar bear habitat and scare polar bear mothers into abandoning their cubs, but now, the oil giant has been given permission to KILL them OUTRIGHT.

We the undersigned DEMAND that Congress and the Fish and Wildlife Service revoke ExxonMobile's right to "take polar bears incidental to oil and gas industry exploration activities in the Beaufort Sea and adjacent northern coast of Alaska." We must be thoughtful in this dangerous time to protect our future.

The United States is PROUD of its rich and glorious wildlife population and our abundant wilderness. Let us stay proud and defend our land -- leave it intact. Once our wild heritage is destroyed, we will have nothing left to protect.

I guess a lot of Exxon-Mobile executives want to have nice white fluffy polar bear rugs in their vacation homes, before polar bears go entirely extinct!
