I am particularly concerned…

I am particularly concerned with that the current government will place the interest of businesses ahead of species who are endangered or are at risk. The government would appear to be making the argument that the profitability of a business is more important than the preservation of a species whose at risk or endangered status is linked directly to human activities. We are all aware that profit, in general , is derived from the exploitation of labour forces, consumers, or the environment. In simple terms that the exchange value of goods is less than the production cost. The current government appears to be suggesting that it would actively consider taking measures to ensure that businesses were able to further exploit the environment to ensure profitability rather than offer protection to species who are at risk/endangered as a result of human activities.

Businesses are neither endangered nor are they at risk. Businesses can move to a new location, albeit at an expense, and survive. Endangered and at risk species cannot.

Businesses are not living things.
