Looks like Trump plans to change the Migratory Bird Treaty Act: Trump administration cuts enforcement of Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Well this disgusting. Our only hope is there are no major oil spills in the next three years until a new president takes office. (I know the current one plans to run for reelection, but I cannot imagine him winning. Then again, I could not imagine him winning this time.)
I fear there is actually a legitimate chance of him winning again. There are multiple people planning to run (Dwayne Johnson) as an independents. If he (or anyone else) does they will pull a LOT of votes away from the democrats. And anyone who believes that trump has no supporters is kidding themselves, he did win after all
The change in interpretation is going through the court soon. The comment period ends July 20 and I ask that all US ZooChatters comment against this change before then. This will likely cause thousands of birds of many species to die (including some endangered species) and will cause oil spills to go unpunished. You can comment here: Regulations.gov
