Trump Plans to Wreck ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT... The Act that Saved the Bald Eagle... Republicans say that Corporate Profit is more important than animals or plants... PURE EVIL

The Trump administration is rolling back parts of the Endangered Species Act...

“This proposal turns the extinction-prevention tool of the Endangered Species Act into a rubber stamp for powerful corporate interests,” Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity

 The 1973 law was passed with strong bipartisan support and has an impressive record of bringing species like the bald eagle and the humpback whale back from the brink of extinction. Today it provides protections for more than 1,600 plants and animals, as well as the habitats critical to their survival.

Memories of my Childhood... 
~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I remember Vasona before it became a Park in Los Gatos, California. There was a lot of Bamboo and Cattail swamps. We went swimming off the Dam... We Fed the Ducks... Later, when it was a Park I went sailing with Barry Hill in a Homemade "El Toro" Boat that his Dad, Robert, Made out of a Kit... The Last time I was driving around with My Dad, they tried to get $5.00 admission to the Park and I refused... We drove to Apollo Heights behind Saratoga instead... That is a Epic View. Looking down on the Paul Masson Mountaintop Winery... and Los Gatos, Moffett Field, San Francisco...  Our house on Bruce Ave. was able to get San Francisco TV Stations if you pointed the Antenna in the Exact Right Direction. We owned a Radio Shack Antenna with a Rotator Box... and we did NOT climb up on the roof ourselves to install it. MOM insisted that we stop climbing up on the roof and Hire People to do stuff like that... and that worked! We never fell off the roof! That house has vanished... the new owners had it torn down so they could build a McMansion and Reap a Profit... I wonder what happened to the Redwood Deck that Mom, Dad and Grandpa built themselves? That wood is still valuable 60 years later. 

Did you know that More Money was made Logging Redwood Trees than was made Mining Gold? The Gold Rush lasted for a few decades but Redwood Logging Continues today... About half of the Sawmills near Eureka have closed because there are not that many trees left in places where they can be removed profitably. When you hire a helicopter to fly the log out... it's difficult to find trees that are worth that expense.  I lived in Eureka for 16 years and actually wrote a Newspaper Article about an Earth First! Ecology Protest - Tree Sit - Mass Arrest for the Humboldt State University Lumberjack Newspaper. Took Photographs, Interviewed People... but I did not interview any Policemen or MAXXAM Employees... I practiced BIASED Journalism. Years later I went back to that same location in Freshwater Valley and took more photographs and the Pampas Grass is growing fantastic now that there is plenty of sunlight... Those Redwood Trees Caused a Lot of Shade... That Tree Sit lasted for 364 Days. a few people built treehouses way up at the top of the Trees... One tree was named Jerry... But in the end, the Evil Charles Hurwitz Logged all the really Profitable trees, stole as much money as he could from the pension fund, Declared Bankruptcy and went back to Texas... and the New Owners (Humboldt Redwood Company - The Gap Clothes Store) are making boards out of Douglas Fir Trees... and some Planted Redwoods... and the entire Timber Wars experience gave us a New State Park - The Headwaters Forest - and It's fun to go hiking in... There is a paved road about six feet wide and many people ride bikes, push strollers, skateboard and ride wheelchairs to the Old Growth Trees. NO CARS! NO MOTORCYCLES! EARTH FIRST!

To whom it may concern: Do not make any changes at all to the Endangered Species Act. It is working great right now. I believe that Animals are more important than Corporate Profits. Republicriminals are trying to destroy our environment in order to increase corporate profits. Don't do that.

The Endangered Species Act, or ESA, is the key piece of US legislation protecting wildlife. Since its passage in 1973, it’s been credited with helping the rebound of the bald eagle, the grizzly bear, the humpback whale, and many other species living throughout the US and in its waterways.

The strict regulations put in place by the act are often frustrating (and costly) roadblocks for industry like mining, and oil and gas drilling and for developers looking to build in areas where protected species live.


"Please make no changes at all to the Endangered Species Act. It is currently working great. Proposed changed by the Trump Administration seek to harm animals in order to increase Corporate Profits."

Trump says EPA chief Scott Pruitt has received Death Threats. That makes me ask some VERY TROUBLING QUESTIONS...

For Example: What if you invented a Time Machine and could travel to Austria in 1900, would you shoot Adolph Hitler as a child? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one?

Yes, Scott Pruitt is causing damage to the USA by repealing Clean Air Laws and Clean Water Laws... and Yes, others in the Cursed Trump Administration want to repeal the Endangered Species Act... and Yes, Ryan Zinke wants to allow drilling for oil off the coasts... and in National Monuments...

BUT!

Do they deserve to die? 

Why not Psychic Re-Grooving? Wouldn't THAT be a better solution? Simply take them camping and let them eat peyote and dance all night around a fire while people play the drums? That would re-groove their bad attitudes... They would learn to LOVE animals and plants...

We would have an Environmental Protection Agency instead of an Enable Polluters Agency...
