With the current governments rush to get legislation through in order to look like they are getting things done, actions like this are destructive and done without thought.

Who described the ESA act as "administratively burdensome, time-consuming and costly for applicants, and for creating barriers to economic development.". Probably developers who are more interested in making money than the environment.

The government needs to strengthen the ESA and ensure these species are protected from rampant development. A watered down ESA is desired by developers in order to make more money. When there is money to be made, developers will gladly comply with a strengthened ESA.
