Backers of the Waco Mammoth Site hope an
online petition can do what years of lobbying have so far failed to do —
get a national monument designation for the site. City of Waco officials, who oversee the mammoth site, don’t know who
started the petition, but they are now promoting it through press
releases and social media. For several years, the city has been seeking national monument status
for the site, and the National Park Service has recommended that
status. The city opened the 100-acre site to the public
in late 2009, giving visitors a glimpse of Central Texas life some
70,000 years ago. An enclosed archaeological dig displays the bones of
at least 23 mammoths...more
If Texas didn't have inadequate regulatory mechanisms, those mammoth's would still be with us. Would that be good? You bet. Mammoths love to feast on feral hogs and wolves, especially the Mexican type.
