US Endangered
Species Act Under Attack
Bush
threatens a rule change which may cause species extinction.
A shocking report
by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) says that the
Bush Administration has waged a war to weaken and turn back the
clock on more than 30 years of environmental progress.
The report
says that Bush is now turning his sights on America’s premier federal
statute created to bring species back from the brink of extinction.
Utilizing a behind-the-scenes approach to evade media coverage and
public input, the Administration is proposing a rule change to the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) that will legalize the commercial exploitation
of endangered species.
