You have to hand it to President Trump’s enemies – they are everywhere and quite noisy.
The latest in the onslaught against the American leader is a press release from the Center for Biological Diversity, headed “Trump Budget Puts Elephants, Red Wolves, Whooping Cranes on Path to Extinction”.
The 2019 budget proposed by Trump would, it’s claimed, cut the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s budget by $300 million, or 19%.
The snail is clearly doomed, and the parrot is dead too. Or not.
Mind you, the US Fish and Wildlife Service is a bureaucracy and like all bureaucracies it seem unable to satisfy everyone. It’s now being sued by an assortment of conservationists…for coming up with a plan to save the endangered Mexican wolf that’s inadequate, according to the conservationists.
