As a citizens of this Earth we need the endangered species act. I am very disappointed, upset and personally outraged with the proposed changes. There is a moral responsibility which should not be tampered with. I am very concerned with the negative impact the proposed changes will bring. It is very disturbing.

Some proposed changes which are violently inhumane include:
-Removes all habitat protection, instead protecting a species dwelling place (example: den or nest) or individual plant.
-Eliminates recovery strategies, government statement and accountability, along with disbanding the committee that provided outside advice and oversight.
-No permits, beneficial action, review or approval is needed to kill or harm a species or its habitat. Developers can proceed immediately by registering online.
-Political discretion can veto or remove species from the species at risk list, meaning species that pose a problem for development could simply be removed.
-Removes the word “harass” from the prohibitions, meaning anyone could harass a species at risk to keep it from nesting to prevent triggering habitat protection, provided they’re not directly harming the individual.
