Endangered Species Act
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Jpatt (talk | contribs) at 15:49, February 26, 2010. It may differ significantly from current revision.
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was enacted to provide federal protection for species, such as the bald eagle,[1] that were placed on the list of endangered species.
Section 7(a)(2) of the Act divides the responsibilities for protecting endangered species between the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Commerce.
The act has been seen as an attempt by liberals to take legitimate concerns (the threat to the national bird) and turn it into environmental hysteria that interferes with legitimate business interests, individual rights, and states' rights.
