Without pollinating species, we are toast. If that law protects bees, i dont care if they are classified as endangered fish, fowl or whatever.

Actually, despite right-wing lies, the law doesn't classify them as fish, The law classifies them as invertebrates, which is what they are in the taxonomy of the Animalia.

[quote]... the law is part of the California Fish and Game Code. The code’s definition includes any “mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate (or) amphibian,” Robie wrote. All those categories “encompass terrestrial and aquatic species,” and the state legislature has already approved the listing of at least one land-based mollusk, the opinion said.

“Accordingly, a terrestrial invertebrate, like each of the four bumblebee species, may be listed as an endangered or threatened species,” Robie wrote, joined by Acting Presiding Justice Cole Blease and Associate Justice Andrea Lynn Hoch.[/quote]

@sunsporter1649 since you seem to constantly be looking for the definition of what others believe a woman to be, it just convinces me that you are the one that is clueless.

@Carla So you are clueless. Why is nobody surprised....
@sunsporter1649 As I predicted, now that's sporty's lies have been exposed, he is trying to duck out and change the subject, [b]LOL!!![/b]
