It’s understandable that a lot of people probably weren’t really paying attention in middle school, but somebody had to be listening to the importance of maintaining a food chain/ecosystem. Apparently no one in our government even went to middle school.
By a vote of 229 to 193, the House of Representatives moved Thursday to
undo some of the central provisions of the 32-year-old Endangered
Species Act and to require that agencies enforcing the law reimburse
property owners if the law’s impact reduces the value of their land.Environmental groups expressed dismay at the measure, which, if
enacted, would represent one of the most far-reaching reversals of
environmental policy in more than a decade. Leading House Democrats
also said it created an unlimited financial entitlement for landowners.
Are we living in the twilight zone? The guy sponsoring this bill is a former rancher, I’m guessing he wasn’t a small time do it yourself kind of rancher either:
Under his bill, the process of putting a species on the federal list of
threatened or endangered species would become more difficult, with a
new requirement for economic analysis of such decisions.
Well, we could try and save land for these bears and stuff, but you know it might cost Johnny Q Richguy a few bucks that he could be making raping the land. Fuck the bears.
The measure passed in the house and will now be going to the senate. Please go to http://senate.gov and find your senators. E-mail them or call them and tell them to vote against this bill. Tell them you want them to keep the endangered species bill intact. It’ll only take five minutes out of your day and it’ll give you something to feel good about it.
Here are the two Senators for New York:
