After all I don't see many african animals running around in the Idaho mountains.
Well that's becasue the African animals are native to Africa. The grey and red wolfs are native to the lower 48.
BTW, Was the black bear ever on that list??? I have a hard time imagining that
Yes the Louisiana black bear was endangered.
And so was the Columbianwhite tail deer, several species of fox, Jaguar, spotted owls.
Here is the current list of endangered species of the world.

Not logical Captain[8D]
100% logical. If it were not for the greed of the humans that killed them off to begin with we wouldn't need to be having this conversation.
There are extremes to all sides of any debate. People like those of you who want to SSS are the reason they became endangered to begin with and the reason the endangered species was even created. The tree huggers that figure out how to use things like the ESA are the extreme on the other side of the debate and are the ones causing the problems today by wanting to keep them listed. If the two extreme sides would just shut up andget out of it all together a whole bunch of problems could be solved and much quicker than it is currently taking today.
