Oh dear!

I see the whole "#SpottedOwl" Right-Wing hysteria from the 1990's coming back over this.

(Most) #Republicans are devoid of #empathy (while extolling #Jesus... a brown-skinned Middle Eastern man who tells them to "welcome the stranger" & "care for the poor"), mocking inconveniencing people for the benefit of "some stupid birds".

Poppy #Bush even made the "controversy" part of his campaign. 😒

The #Trump admin's announcement answers calls for revisions to the #EndangeredSpecies Act from #Republicans in #Congress & industries including #oil & #gas, #mining & #agriculture. Critics argue the landmark 1973 #EnvironmentalLaw has been wielded too broadly….

But environmentalists warned the changes could cause yearslong delays in efforts to save species such as the #monarch butterfly, Florida #manatee, California #SpottedOwl & North American #wolverine.

Got this done on my livestream this week: a Northern Spotted Owl.

This bird has been requested *numerous* times by visitors to my booth at Friday Night Markets here in Eureka, CA. It is native to the area, dangerously threatened by other owls, and a favorite of many many folks who live here.

I had So. Much. Fun! streaming this week. It really was my happy place, and I had some awesome folks stop by and help me out. They offered me great advice, response, ideas… It was a lot of fun!

I highly encourage you to check out the livestream recordings, which I upload to MakerTube as a matter of course after each stream. I’ve started the habit of translating the recording and uploading closed captioning in German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Hindi.

I suspect Twitch may start to accept recruitment advertising for ICE, which will prompt me to not stream there. But my home on MakerTube is where I land all my recordings, and I’ll start trying to livestream there again. Just an FYI.

From AP.com: Lawmakers urge Trump administration to cancel owl-killing plan, say it would cost too much

Lawmakers urge Trump administration to cancel owl-killing plan, say it would cost too much

A bipartisan group of lawmakers urge the Trump administration to scrap plans to kill more than 450,000 invasive barred owls in West Coast forests in coming decades. The planned shootings are part of efforts to stop the birds from crowding out two smaller owl species facing potential extinction. The group of 19 lawmakers say the killings would cost thousands of dollars per bird and questioned if it would help the native spotted owls. Scientists for years have been shooting barred owls on an experimental basis and officials say the results show the strategy could halt spotted owl declines.
