I cannot believe that the government is even considering undermining legislation that protects endangered species. With everything we know about excessive consumer consumption and its effects on our planet, erosion of important ecosystems and climate change, our government should be taking steps to expand protections for wildlife and nature, *particularly* for those who are endangered. To gut the ESA as suggested is cruel, heartless and un-Canadian. One of the things Canada is famous for is its natural beauty--the landscapes, the unique animals, the forces of nature. I urge you before it's too late to abandon the proposed changes to the legislation, and furthermore, urge you to consider expanding protections. Very few Canadians would back legislation putting wild animals in danger, unless it was the purposes of lining their own pockets.
