    Why one earth would anyone believe anything related to animals put out by someone named slaughter ? That sounds to me like a bad joke.

    SMH - NY has been trying to legislate America for years. Bloomberg has NYPD doing undercover illegal straw purchases of guns in GA. Nothing surprises me any more.

    I'm sad that there is no way to comment. I wanted to leave a note about how the FWS clearly doesn't need things made easier for them, as they've already proven they're able and willing to manufacture evidence in order to list non-injurious species as injurious.

    This was kind of my thought too.
    Now if this goes thru they can just add whatever the :censor: they want!

    I love that they don't link to the actual Bill. The intent is fine. But the implementation I can't agree with. I can't trust anything FWS says.
