Dear David Shindle, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Panthers are so iconic in Florida that they were chosen by schoolchildren to be the state animal. They deserve our respect and ourprotection. Federal protection remains essential, as turning managementover to the state and increasing the use of lethal management wouldcause the species to once again be in danger of extinction after slowlybuilding their numbers throughout the years.
Their current status does not meet the standards set by the EndangeredSpecies Act to downlist or delist them. Panther conservation must bere-doubled to prevent their jeopardy. The progress made in revivingtheir population should not be prematurely dismantled now. Unlike allother mountain lion subspecies, Florida panthers are specially adaptedto their Big Cypress Swamp and Everglades habitats. But they areincreasingly threatened by climate change, habitat loss and roaddevelopment. We must ensure their safety and survival if they are topersist for future generations.
During the five-year review for this species, please do not downlist ordelist panthers from Endangered Species Act protection.
Thank you.

Dear David Shindle, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Panthers are so iconic in Florida that they were chosen by schoolchildren to be the state animal. They deserve our respect and ourprotection. Federal protection remains essential, as turning managementover to the state and increasing the use of lethal management wouldcause the species to once again be in danger of extinction after slowlybuilding their numbers throughout the years.
Their current status does not meet the standards set by the EndangeredSpecies Act to downlist or delist them. Panther conservation must bere-doubled to prevent their jeopardy. The progress made in revivingtheir population should not be prematurely dismantled now. Unlike allother mountain lion subspecies, Florida panthers are specially adaptedto their Big Cypress Swamp and Everglades habitats. But they areincreasingly threatened by climate change, habitat loss and roaddevelopment. We must ensure their safety and survival if they are topersist for future generations.
During the five-year review for this species, please do not downlist ordelist panthers from Endangered Species Act protection.
Thank you.

This is yourstate mammal, the symbol for one of your university's sports team, andan NHL franchise. They are rare and beautiful and need protection. Theymust not be delisted, and must keep their endangered status. The nexttime I visit Florida, I want to be able to hear that Florida Panthersare protected.

The progress made in revivingtheir population should not be prematurely dismantled now. Unlike allother mountain lion subspecies, Florida panthers are specially adaptedto their Big Cypress Swamp and Everglades habitats. But they areincreasingly threatened by climate change, habitat loss and roaddevelopment. We must ensure their safety and survival if they are topersist for future generations.
During the five-year review for this species, please do not downlist ordelist panthers from Endangered Species Act protection.
Thank you.

Dear David Shindle, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Panthers are so iconic in Florida that they were chosen by schoolchildren to be the state animal. They deserve our respect and ourprotection. Federal protection remains essential, as turning managementover to the state and increasing the use of lethal management wouldcause the species to once again be in danger of extinction after slowlybuilding their numbers throughout the years.
Their current status does not meet the standards set by the EndangeredSpecies Act to downlist or delist them. Panther conservation must bere-doubled to prevent their jeopardy. The progress made in revivingtheir population should not be prematurely dismantled now. Unlike allother mountain lion subspecies, Florida panthers are specially adaptedto their Big Cypress Swamp and Everglades habitats. But they areincreasingly threatened by climate change, habitat loss and roaddevelopment. We must ensure their safety and survival if they are topersist for future generations.
