I am sure you are all aware of the fact that the Trump Administration has rolled down protection for endangered animals which everybody agrees (even the public) is the wrong thing to do. Unfortunately, this is not an administration that cares about petitions so, although we tried, we failed to stop them. Now, Animal and Environmental groups as well as State governments will be taking them to court (not that they care about that, either )
