Just blindly sacking on what seems to be an eeny-meeny-miny-moe strategy really isn’t the way forward. Are they even looking for qualities like personal commitment, or the roles each one of them plays in society when making their final decisions? Because without knowing exactly what’s happening on a case by case basis we can’t even begin to understand what the overall affects might be.

The roles within the various national parks authorities for example. An area of expertise I myself am not unfamiliar with, and incidently some who would be well at the top of my own personal pet target list. They’re not all bad by any means, I know many of them are doing really great work in the field of conservation, but I also know there are those working within these departments who simply never ought be let loose within a thousand miles of them. There are veritable barrel-loads of corrupt, rotten-to-the-core apples who have either been allowed in, or have snuck their ways into positions of power with bad decision making positively encouraged over the decades. Like the corruption and misuse of power going on with that of shooting, hunting and trapping within those departments.

The particular officials I’m talking about have been abusing tax-payers’ money for decades. Such as those within the Idaho Fish & Wildlife (see below) or those in Texas who’ve sided with the rattlesnake killers for all too long. I seriously doubt whether the Trump administration would take these considerations into account so I really can’t see things ending too well at all.

Idaho to kill 90% of the state’s wolves.

Thank you very much, Mr. Trump.
