EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt overruled his own scientists to prevent an agriculture ban of a DowDuPont pesticide that causes brain damage in children, and now pesticide manufacturers have their sights set on undermining federal protections for endangered animals like the whooping crane.
If Pruitt wont protect our children and farmworkers from the overuse of highly poisonous insecticides, then he certainly cant be trusted to protect our endangered species from them, said Peter Jenkins, counsel for the Center for Food Safety. Beautiful species like Palos Verde Blue butterflies, rusty patched bumble bees and even our majestic whooping cranes may all disappear if we are forced to trust Mr. Pruittbut this bill removes all the checks on him.

May every person who voted "yea" for him ROT IN HELL (fueled by coal!)!

(3,290 posts)Pruitt is flat out evil and has done and will do more damage to our environment and it may never fully recover, certainly not in my lifetime. Those enabling him must be held responsible in some way.
