Information and petition can be found at https://www.audubon.org/ then click on the Take Action button.

Basic statement from the website is:

"The Department of the Interior is fast-tracking efforts to strip away critical protections in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Proposed changes in its recent Draft Environmental Impact Statement would make permanent the bird-killing policy the agency adopted in 2017, which overturned decades of bipartisan precedent and gives companies a free pass for bird deaths from industrial hazards such as open oil pits and power lines. It's time for Congress to respond to this attack on America's birds."

But investigate for yourself.

For those interested, again, there is an online petition and then the opportunity to easily click a message to your congress person.

You're welcome. It makes me wonder what else is going on... trying to get "slipped through the cracks" while the world isn't looking. Sigh...

Making it legal (again) to bait bears for sport killing. I doubt there is an environmental protection they haven't set their sights on.
