Loophole Policy on Killing Endangered Species. Yes. It's true.

Hello, welcome and good day!

I want to tip my hat to all the fighters out there who are bringing attention to the US Department of Justice for allowing hunters/any person who kills endangered animals to go unpunished. Yes, amazingly, there is a 15 year old loophole called McKittrick policy that prevents criminal prosecution against people who kill endangered species. This includes grizzly bears, Mexican wolves, California condors, etc. RIP little buddies. Don’t know about your mind, but my mind is blown. Shame on you Department of Justice. Shame. On. You.

I read the LA Times article U.S. sued over policy on killing endangered wildlife by Julie Cart last night and was inspired to start this thing. I truly believe it is important to have a dialog about these issues. Ignoring the issue is no doubt, the absolute worst thing we can do about this. It is critical Friends that we are aware about these problems. Because not only is it an issue in Africa, Asia, the Arctic, but it’s a problem where I live, it’s a problem where you live, it is a problem where everybody lives.

Thank you Julie Cart for writing this article and getting it in the LA Times and now it is plastered around the internet. Thank you WildEarth Guardians and New Mexico Wilderness Alliance for standing up to the Justice Department since our little buddies can’t do it themselves. Best of luck to you and I hope you burry that McKittrick policy deep.

Thank you for swinging by. Come back for more updates on this issue and other endangered species info.
