The Audubon Society at one time prided itself on being “non-political.” Unlike the Sierra Club, it stayed neutral on political matters. No more. I’m a member of the Audubon Society, and in the latest fundraising letter to its members, it flatly stated: “Trump is killing our birds.”
The Administration has decided to eliminate criminal penalties for “incidental” bird deaths under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Corporations may now destroy habitats and kill birds even when the deaths could have been mitigated. The Audubon Society has filed suit against the Administration, but guess who has been appointing federal judges for the last three years, and guess which Senate leader has been expediting their approvals.
