Yet the Endangered Species Act, through its cumbersome command and control mechanisms, requires that fish be protected and that farmers and their families be bankrupted. Federal bureaucrats have effectively decided that turning farms and ranches in Southern Oregon into a depression era dust bowl is good for the environment, good for wildlife and fish and good for people. It doesn't take much to see how wrong they are. This will cause economic devastation to the area. Even local schools are already preparing for dramatic budget cuts.
Current law has it backwards.
It is time for a new conservation approach that values wildlife and people and our constitutional liberties.
