If you render them deaf you essentially kill them.

Good going Obama. I would much rather that Obama in the WH than any Republican but his record on the environment is very spotty. This is an area where someone needs to sit him down and explain how these animals live and what the real environmental cost for allowing this to be.

I would definitely not call him the environmental president.
