The Endangered Species Committee (the "God Squad") just voted to lift protections for the critically endangered Rice’s whale in the Gulf of Mexico. The goal is to clear the way for expanded oil and gas drilling under national security priorities.
Without these rules, oil vessels no longer face strict speed limits or mandatory whale tracking in these waters. Rice's whales are found nowhere else on Earth and are already fighting extinction after losing 20% of their population to the 2010 BP oil spill.
Activists and conservation groups are preparing to fight this in court.
There really is no end to this man’s entitlement.
