This is ridiculous. What is…

This is ridiculous. What is the point of submitting species for protection if you are just going to continue with actions that could be killing them for a YEAR??? Actions need to be halted until it can be shown species are not harmed by the proposed actions. It's like being fairly certain your brakes are failing but continuing to drive your car until you know for sure, then dying in a car accident because you didn't stop to fix the issue and therefore made the problem worse. Also, what are the point of regulations if you can just pay to ignore them???? It's absurd.
