Rep. Pearce joins political cockfight over 'threatened' chicken

Posted by John Sugden on April 16, 2014

A recent environmental decision by the Obama administration has ruffled Rep. Steve Pearce's (R-N.M.) feathers so much that he is holding no fewer than three town halls this week to discuss a little-known species of chicken.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officially listed the lesser prairie chicken as threatened in late March. The classification is second in severity only to endangered. That reclassification has drawn outrage from ranchers in Pearce's district, who contend the step is unnecessary, violates landowners' rights and limits the region's growing oil and gas industry.

Pearce has joined fellow southwestern Republican Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas) in publicly criticizing the move. The Fish and Wildlife Service called the listing a "response to the rapid and severe decline" of the animal. Pearce has invited constituents in Lovington, Roswell and Portales to come to question federal government officials on the decision, claiming they "owe New Mexicans an explanation."

Subjects: Former Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM); Former Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX); U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
