Richards has been "an abysmal steward of wildlife and an obstructionist rather than a conservationist." ( LA Times )
He has voted against listing a declining amphibian as threatened; voted against protecting the Pacific Fisher, which is a rare mammal; voted against efforts to stop the use of toxic lead shot in California's condor habitat; and, repeatedly, also opposed a variety of protections for marine life. Thankfully a majority of the commission disagreed with him and approved these protection measures.
What were you thinking Arnie, when you appointed this " man " to protect wildlife ???
