Defenders of Wildlife Flabbergasted by Anti-Wildlife Politicians’ Baseless Claims in ESA 50th Committee Hearing
“If members of Congress want to attack and undermine the Endangered Species Act, they should make it a fair fight and first consider fully funding the law instead of giving it less than half of what is currently needed."
- Mary Beth Beetham, Legislative Director for Defenders of Wildlife
“Today’s farce of a hearing is exactly why listing decisions and the implementation of the Endangered Species Act should be governed by the best available science and experts at the Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service,” said Mary Beth Beetham, legislative director for Defenders of Wildlife. “Anti-wildlife politicians who are dead set on ignoring the facts and near-perfect track record of the Endangered Species Act will only fast-track the extinction process for our nation’s imperiled wildlife. Scientists, not politicians, should be the voice of reason in this increasingly, troubling debate.”
