Congress has the final say, should they choose to exercise it.

Birds, unlike birdbrains, are not protected by the Constitution.

Don’t the birds win, I thought that treaties preempted other laws.

What kind of unprincipled birds do they have in Oregon, anyway, that don’t understand how insensitive it is to prey on another endangered species?

I say, sensitivity training for those birds. (Funded by the multimillion dollar federal grant, of course).

@ps: I’m sure a multimillion-dollar federal research grant will be forthcoming to resolve that very issue.

hmmmm, the old ‘protected species implosion’. Wonder who gets to decide which species gets more protection.
