Mankind needs these type of places more and more as retreats from the insanity faced every day. Once you destroy them in the grasping greed for more resources, you’ll never get them back, they can’t be rebuilt. Some places are still fairly untouched and deserve permanent protections.
What we have here is a perfect example of runaway “thinking in money”. The pursuit of money involves the conversion of everything into money. Life doesn’t matter. For the bulk of the money-obsessed, I think they even see death as a bonus.
Very few people actually understand the ESA and it’s various rules that many states pile on top of it. When my clients are required to install “turtle tunnels” in a subdivision and monitor them with cameras in perpetuity for a turtle that is not anywhere close to being listed as endangered or of critical concern, it’s obvious that the program is being abused. I think it’s high time somebody did something about this brand of overreach.
Don’t worry, only the rich will get richer as they kill off endangered species. It isn’t like this is going to help the middle class or the economy. Trump is an unnatural disaster.
After the Nitwit-in-Chief is done “Making America Great Again”, the cartoon would be more accurate showing a rotisserie eagle on the spit (branch). What a dipstick leads the RepubliCON party.
The Trump administration just reauthorized the use of “Cyanide bombs”. The U.S. EPA is allowing M-44s. You know, the ones that kill your hunting dogs, and potentially any child curious enough to mess with the device. A 17 year old, Canyon Mansfield hiking with his dog in the woods near Pocatello, Idaho was poisoned by a blast of cyanide sprayed into the air after the device was triggered by his dog. The dog died right there and Canyon was rushed to the hospital and luckily survived. Thanks Trump, you …#@$

The glaciers are melting,it’s easy to see but Trump doesn’t care. So do you think Trump will even notice that some species disappear?

Republicans don’t care about plants, animals and humans, they just love money.

Really though, what could be more “Modern America” than having as our national symbol, an animal rendered extinct due to greed.

Bald Eagles aren’t going to disappear. (Some) other species are much less adaptable.
