"The issue presented here is whether the bumble bee, a terrestrial invertebrate, falls within the definition of fish," the judges said in their summation. Under CESA, "endangered species" can be birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, or fish. Insects like bees do not make the cut, under this definition.
In an only-in-California decision, an appeals court in the Golden State has ruled that some types of bees are now legally considered to be fish.The head-scratching decision by the California Court of Appeals was hailed by proponents as “a win for the bumblebees.”It reversed a lower court’s ruling in favor of agricultural interests who argued the state’s Endangered Species Act protected only “birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and plants” – not bees or other bugs.The decision was a victory for environmental groups and the state’s Fish and Game Commission, which had pushed to list four bumblebee species as endangered.
Where are the Getbig libtards to defend this?
California is an absolute shit hole!
I love this state (the beauty of it) but this is state full of retards politically and so called “Justice” system is fucked all the way around
You would think it would be easier to add insects and bugs to the endangered species list then to fuck biology and call bees fish.
Noel Fuller is defending the shit out if this on my Facebook thread
