The president's stooge, Ryan Zinke,
just sentenced millions of migratory waterfowl to death, cuz he's in the pocket of Big Oil. In the process of drilling for oil there is large pool of surface oil that is released for various reasons. The FORMER rules called for these pools of oil to be COVERED, so flocks of ducks and geese wouldn't land in them, thinking they were water, becoming oil covered and left to die a slow death.
WELL, the current head of the Dept of the Interior, the same one who sent his small town buddies to FIX Puerto Rico, with pockets full of taxpayer money, has changed the rules, so that drillers can't be prosecuted/fined for not covering the death pits.
A YUUUGE number of former administration officials have signed on to fight the order, BUT, the A-hole in chief and his moronic minions hold the cards.
The letter writers argue the change, “creates a huge loophole” that allows “companies to engage in activities that routinely kill migratory birds so long as they were not intending that their operations would ‘render an animal subject to human control.’ ”
