The destruction begins...

[quote]The Trump administration has proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA), a law credited with keeping hundreds of species from going extinct.

The change would eliminate automatic protections for threatened plant and animal species, and make it easier for species to be removed from the list.

[b]Wildlife conservation groups say the proposed change could have disastrous lasting effects on at-risk species.[/b][/quote]

[i]What would they know eh? [/i]

[quote]The proposed change is the latest in a series of White House efforts to remove environmental regulations designed to protect vulnerable species and their habitats, as well as leave untouched some of America's most wild places.

Of course they are doing this. Species have no use or interest in TrumpWorld, except to eat or kill so the area can be logged, mined, or otherwise developed. These changes would have a profound negative impact on a law that has been one of the most successful ever.

Here is a serious question: Has Trump ever been to a National Park in his adult life? Has he ever seen the Grand Canyon? Or Yellowstone? Or any other?

@windinhishair Of course he hasn't. But I hear that Don jr has.......to kill things 😟

Here's an idea, rename all of those national parks to trump Canyon or trumpstone etc and, maybe, he won't touch them.

@room101 I get your point, but that would debase our national treasures.

@windinhishair fair point......but you could always change the names back once he's out of office. or in jail
