The
Endangered Species Act Should Be Revoked
Environmentalists have
already protested the suggested changes on the grounds that they would
reduce protection for "endangered" species and their habitats.
But according to Dr.
Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute, "this
immoral law should be revoked.
"For decades the
Endangered Species Act has been used to victimize property owners, to
take away their land, their assets and their livelihoods. In the name of
preserving animal life, the Endangered Species Act has enabled the
violation of individual rights in every corner of the country, rights
that our government was instituted to protect, not trample upon.
"Because of this
Act, farmers have been prevented from cultivating or building on their
own land; because of this act, housing complexes have been blocked--to
mention just two examples.
"This corrupt law
sacrifices people for the sake of animals. The Endangered Species Act
should be revoked, not reformed."
