Landowner Explains Why the US Supreme Court Should Stop the Feds From Taking His 1,500-Acre Property in the Name of a Frog
2nd October 2018
Landowner Edward Poitevent’s lawyers went before the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to argue against an Obama administration decision to label his land “potential backup habitat” for an endangered species of frog that hasn’t been seen there in decades.
That’s only part of the problem. Should the frogs be relocated to Poitevent’s land in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, today, they wouldn’t be able to survive.
“If you put the frog back on there today, it would die,” Poitevent told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an on-camera interview ahead of oral arguments in the case Weyerhaeuser Company v. United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
