"The Dire Wolf revival carries profound cultural significance as it embodies strength and courage that is deeply encoded within the DNA of American identity and tribal heritage."
The entire statement is double speak.
We already do celebrate when species comes off the list -- just to name a few the American bald eagle, the Peregrine Falcon, the California Condor.
Ill-concieved. They didn't de-extinct. A misuse of effort & money. The hype already exploited by the coup to render extinct the ESA & destroy critical habitats, driving more extinctions. Capitalism is voracious, it devours the natural environment that supports life on earth. Cubs = excuse to drill 🧵
Burgum using this stunt to gloat about plans to kill ESA, drop environmental protections, allow destruction of watersheds, forests, wetlands, wildlands, habitats, species (& he dares say 'tribal'). Predicatable. Even just reading Wiki pg on 'Colossal' you can see they've got anti-ESA folks advising
Another DEI hire to fill a cabinet position, I mean how else are such unqualified white guys running these departments? DEI: delusional entitled and ignorant
