Bush to relax protected species rules, damn the wildlife

[Spytheweb]

Bush and republicans are always in favor of big business. Will destroy wildlife to make a buck. Will poison our air, water and food to make a dollar.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration on Monday said it plans to let federal agencies decide for themselves whether highways, dams, mines and other construction projects might harm endangered animals and plants.

The proposal, which does not require the approval of Congress, would reduce the mandatory, independent reviews that government scientists have been performing for 35 years. Developers welcomed the plan, while environmentalists derided it.

please name a few species that will be affected.

I'm all for being a steward of the environment, but I think that can be easily coupled with something like drilling for oil. Canada is chock full of oil wells, and the wildlife there is abundant.

I'll be waiting to hear from you exactly which species will be affected.

It would depend which projects now will just go through w/o and checks & balances.

I hope this regime enjoys their time in hell when they get there.

Bush would.

It scares me that there is no regard for the environment anymore.

got some people in this thread talking out their asses about the environment (not me for the record). You all please let me know what species get destroyed when it happens. Bump the thread back up, and if wrong, I'll say I was.
