		<description>While I do agree that the tree octopus is fake and the whole site is just a hoax, everyone should stop trashing it already. It was honestly meant to be a hoax, but people are just taking it way to far.</description>

		<description>Bruce is right.  People pay a great deal of money to keep the existence of endangered species such as these quiet, as it interferes with their capitalist agenda. We must take action to save the tree octopus.  I hope there are still enough left to save, especially considering the increasing predation by the carnivorous sasquatch.</description>

		<description>@Wade Roush: Yes, we need to get in contact about the photos you got on your Safari! I am compiling a book on rare and hyper-endangered species, those photos would be great. 

I&#039;m glad to hear that you have stopped cashing those checks and come clean on the facts, it must be a real relief to finally be able to admit the truth about &quot;their&quot; nefarious plans for Olympic National Park.</description>

		<description>@Bruce: Curses, I&#039;ve finally been found out -- by one of my own readers! I guess I&#039;ll have to stop cashing those checks from the land developers who want to turn Olympic National Park in to an exclusive resort community for retired TV news anchors. (And if you believe that, I&#039;ve got a few snapshots of the Denali Tundra Salmon to sell you.)</description>

		<description>Stop and think critically for a little while! Obviously, the moneyed interests have a lot to win if the public is convinced that the tree octopus is fake. What better way to be sure it will never be put on the endangered species list, then to hoodwink the public into believing it never existed in the first place?? Land developers are itching to get these last pristine seafront properties. This campaign of fake &quot;scientists&quot; denouncing the tree octopus is much like the campaign of junk science to question global warming by the Bush administration. In that case, the point was to support the oil industry. 

If you follow the money, you&#039;ll find the writers of articles like this are very well paid by land developers. Millions flows from slush funds and offshore bank accounts into the checking accounts stooges like Wade Roush, how do you think this sell-out paid for his trip to Alaska? Take a stand against the land profiteers and corrupt Republican politicians and support the Northwest Tree Octopus!

PS. Photosafari&#039;s for the Denali Tundra Salmon cost upwards of $10,000 PER DAY. The guides who know how to find them and the permits to enter the restricted part of Denali National Park are few and far between, including the cost of a bush plane to fly into the remote valleys where it can still be found. Ontop of that, just flying into Fairbanks costs thousands of dollars from the lower 48 (If you remember, Sarah Palin was criticized for flying to the lower 48 so much because she wasted lots of tax payer money on it). </description>
