Public Comment Period Open Until March 1 For US Migratory Bird Treaty Act (1 Viewer)

There was a thread started by Mysticete back in the summer that is related, here. That dealt with the appalling attack on th MBTA by the Trump administration. I wanted to start a new thread to call attention to an opportunity we now have to help rectify things - for those people, like me, that were unaware of the latest news on this:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service started a 20-day public comment period regarding the MBTA, which will end on March 1. Anyone that would like to have their views on the record, regarding the proposed rollback of protections for birds, can do so. More information on how to do so here:

I am writing up my opinion for submission and urge others to do the same.

Thanks for the reminder. I've just posted my comment asking the FWS/Dept of Interior to rescind the proposed rule.
