The Endangered Species Act has been in need of trimming for at least 20 years.
When a farmer doing what farmers do gets arrested for killing a mouse, I don't care how endangered the mouse is, nor do most Americans.

All of these onerous laws initially allowed people through their representatives to overide any "negative impacts" to anything.

The fact that this has been conveniently forgotten justifiably marks these abused laws for extinction.

That's the problem with most endangered species (as well as just about any ecological dilemma)- You can benefit something without negatively impacting something else.
