TX Ag Commissioner Says to End Weaponization of the ESA

The Endangered Species Act, once a vital tool for genuine conservation, was twisted into a weapon by the Biden Administration and their radical 30X30 land grab agenda. Those are thoughts from Sid Miller, the Commissioner of Agriculture in Texas. “Time and again, we’ve fought back against the reckless misuse of the law, including the listing of the Lesser Prairie Chicken, the expansion of a wildlife refuge, or the current listing of the Monarch Butterfly,” Miller said. “These heavy-handed decisions blatantly disregarded the successful, voluntary conservation efforts led by landowners, farmers, ranchers, and our energy producers.” Miller also said he proudly stands with those asking Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to promptly remove the Dune Sagebrush Lizard and Lesser Prairie Chicken from the Endangered Species list. “I also strongly advocate for the removal of the Eastern Monarch Butterfly from consideration under our Endangered Species Act,” he added. “Let’s restore some common sense.”
