The Trump administration on Friday advanced its plans to cut federal regulation protections for birds despite criticisms from scientists and former federal officials that the move will likely be severely detrimental to the U.S. bird population.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Friday released its Final Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed change to the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) that would greatly limit federal authority to prosecute industries for practices that kill migratory birds.

The act was first passed "to stop the unregulated killing of migratory birds," according to Friday's report. Under the legislation, the Fish and Wildlife Service regulates the "taking" of migratory birds, which includes "to pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, collect, or attempt to hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect."

The proposed change seeks to clarify the scope of the definition, although many have pointed out that the change will scale back federal prosecution authority for the threats birds face from industry, including electrocution on power lines, wind turbines that knock them from the air and oil field waste pits where landing birds can die in toxic water.

2. He doesn't care

He showed this disregard for migratory birds when he plowed thru sensitive areas with his wall. He just does not care about anything or anyone but his fat ass. He’s also seeking to give permits in our national forests in Alaska. I pray I live long enough to see these assaults made right again n his future is a 10x6 concrete cell.
