Trump Removing The Endangered Species Act

The Washington Post published an article called Endangered Species Act Stripped of Key Provisions in Trump Administration proposal by, Darryl Fears who focuses on wildlife issues. This article talks about what the endangered species act is and it's purpose. It goes into detail about what would happen if Trump's proposed plan goes through with stripping the endangered species act. The article talks about some species could go extinct due to lack of federal protection.  This article was great because it was not one-sided and they gave good examples.  One good example from the article about federal protections talks about how an oil company can get away with injuring animals under the new law. A good example that shows that they are not biased is when they include the perspective of a person who thought that repealing the endangered species act would help Americans get new jobs. Overall this article goes into great detail about what taking away the endangered species act would do
