Feds quietly announce plans to change protections for Florida panther and Key deer
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced last week that it was considering stripping protections from two of Florida’s most iconic endangered species: the Florida panther and Key deer.
The news surprised conservationists, who expected the Biden White House to undo Trump administration cuts to environmental protections that included shrinking the endangered species list.
“Is this a holdover from the Trump administration plan? Perhaps. But the Biden administration has been in place for a year,” said Brett Hartl, an attorney and government affairs director for the Center for Biological Diversity. “It's hard to imagine a scenario where the agency is not letting people know that this is a mistake.”
You know...I'm not even surprised anymore. The incompetency of this agency is just...I can't even put it into words. All I know is that European countries are probably looking at this and laughing their butts off at the USFWS.
