Trumpet (08-13-2019)
Hey Trump...drop dead and may your family have you stuffed with burnt chicken feathers. Anything for a buck you worthless POS and no wonder your own parents didn't even want you around. Maybe one of your sons Uday or Qusay will cut off one of your body parts and take a selfie with it just like that one with the elephant tail.The Trump administration’s policies are leading to wholesale destruction of certain birds and other wildlife. This fact has escaped most public notice amid the broader damage the Cabinet is causing to the environment. Among other measures, regulatory agencies have been working to lift protections on endangered animals, open up vast animal habitats for drilling, encourage more trophy hunting, and repress treatment standards for farm animals.
Granted, Republican administrations since Ronald Reagan’s, with their contempt for federal regulation, have often been unfriendly to the animal kingdom. George W. Bush’s administration, for instance, only added 62 kinds of animals to the endangered species list over the course of 8 years, compared to 700 animals each under Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. But several veteran policy advocates we reached for interviews this week said Trump’s team has been unusually aggressive about regulatory rollback.
“I think that what’s different this time is an across-the-board, no-stone-left-unturned, no-holds-barred approach to rolling back environmental safeguards — including for wildlife,” said Andrew Wetzler of the Natural Resources Defense Council. George W. Bush’s advisers, he added, picked their targets more selectively. “It was more like a rifle-shot approach. This is more of a shotgun approach.”

Easy now, they call it "deregulation," everything from consumer protections to as we see here wildlife management, usually done to satisfy some special interest and completed quietly. Sold to the lemmings as "deregulation," generalized into some economic argument about getting big Gov't out of the way, something the base can understand given it has a scapegoat they like
