Care to take a guess on how many policies I would place ahead of the plight of a red wolf under Trump's next 4 years?jerrab » 17 Dec 2024, 2:32 pm » wrote: ↑ ----------------------------------------------------------------------Trump to Allow Killing of Red Wolves; As Few as 30 RemainNorth Carolina's wild red wolves are among the world's most endangered species — yet Trump's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed drastic changes allowing their killing. It's the opposite of what most people want: More than 98 percent of comments submitted by North Carolinians support the wolves' protection and recovery.
The state's population could be just eight years from extinction, but the wildlife agency wants to eliminate protection for all red wolves wandering off federal property.
"The Trump administration is declaring open season on America's last red wolves," said the Center for Biological Diversity's Perrin de Jong, based in Asheville, N.C. "The Service turned its back on red wolf recovery when it stopped supporting introductions of captive-bred wolves to the wild. Now it wants to drive the last nail into their coffin."---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted a non trump to win the nomination.
tired of all your ****.
But OK, since it's something you seem to care so much about, let's do some research on the subject, shall we?:
So, now that we have some facts on such an earth-shattering policy to save your red wolves, why don't you tell us who was president in 2015 that caused the problem?US strikes deal aimed at saving endangered red wolf
By Clark Mindock
Aug 9, 2023 (Reuters) - The US Fish and Wildlife Service on Wednesday agreed to restart programs aimed at rehabilitating the dwindling population of endangered red wolves, resolving a federal lawsuit by conservation groups.
The settlement, opens new tab filed in a NC federal court would require the federal agency to restart a shuttered program that reintroduces captive red wolves into the wild by developing yearly plans to do so over the next eight years. The settlement also requires the agency to consider sterilization for coyotes in the wolf's habitat in order to stop cross-mating between the species.
The conservation groups claimed in their lawsuit, filed in 2020, that the federal agency violated the Endangered Species Act when it stopped its wolf reintroduction and coyote management practices in a 1.7 million-acre recovery area in eastern NC.
The Defenders of Wildlife, the Red Wolf Coalition and the Animal Welfare Institute, claimed the agency’s 2015 decision sparked a decline in the red wolf population that threatened extinction in the wild by 2024.
Here's a hint, genius: IT WASN'T TRUMP!
Now, is that REALLY one of your biggest concerns for the incoming administration when Trump has to deal with the two wars that Biden has left him, sky-high interest, inflation, and mortgage rates, an open border that's let in over 11 million illegals in the past 4 years that we're paying to house, clothe, feed, educate, and provide free healthcare for? Is your red wolf of greater importance to you than the hundreds of thousands of homeless Americans that line the streets of virtually every Democrat-run city in the country? Or the scourge of fentanyl and other illegal drugs that are killing 100,000 young Americans every year?
Get your priorities in order, nitwit!
