Lame Duck Still Quacking

This email came in today from the NRDC. How can you claim to love your country but do this sort of thing to it? I guess the almighty dollar trumps mere 'lesser creatures.'

The Interior Department has recently announced plans to seriously undermine the Endangered Species Act by putting the responsibility of wildlife protection in the hands of federal agencies that so far have shown little or no interest in protecting wildlife. The proposal would eliminate many current safeguards, including the routine scientific review of any agency action that may pose a threat to federally protected wildlife.

These sweeping changes would have dire implications for grey wolves, polar bears, whales and countless other imperiled wildlife that take refuge in Greater Yellowstone, Alaska’s Tongass rainforest and other prized U.S. wildlands.
