It is very reassuring to see that the candidates selected by President Trump are following his example of tearing down the political abuses by the Obama administration.
Environmentalists of course in an uproar, screaming about the poisoning of wildlife, which I find funny. Because these are the same idiots that want to use human blood thinners to cut down on animal populations like wild hogs in the Southern Mid-West.
So Warfarin is okay to poison animals, and the surrounding wildlife that isn’t intended to be targeted; but is anyway because they used bait traps. But a few lead rounds which have like a 1 in a Million chance of affecting another animal isn’t?
You see where I’m going with this?
I say this was the right move on Secretary Zinke’s part! Good Job Sir!
On his first full day in office, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke issued an order Thursday reversing a last-minute action by the Obama administration to ban lead ammunition and fish tackle used on national wildlife refuges.
Gun-rights supporters condemned the earlier order — issued a day before Obama left office Jan. 20 — as nakedly political. The order was intended to protect birds from lead poisoning, the Obama administration said.
Zinke, a former Montana congressman and avid hunter, said the new order would increase hunting, fishing and recreation opportunities on lands managed by Fish and Wildlife Service.
Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said Zinke’s order “represents an important check on executive abuse and reverses what was a deliberate attack on Americans’ fundamental rights and privileges” by the Obama administration.
The order reverses a decision by the Obama administration to phase out use of lead ammunition and fishing tackle on wildlife refuges by 2022.
