The administration that brought you Make America Healthy Again has had a very busy week for animals.

On Friday HUD narrowed the definition of assistance animals allowed in federally subsidized housing. A move that could lead to thousands of animals and their disabled owners being evicted. This came eight months after HUD quietly withdrew the guidance that housing providers had relied on for over a decade to evaluate service animal requests, a withdrawal so quiet it was removed from the HUD website without announcement. whitehouse.gov/live

Also this week, two weeks after a memo obtained by an investigative outlet revealed the change, the Trump administration quietly cleared the way for cyanide bombs to return to hundreds of millions of acres of American public land. The M-44 device has killed wolves, grizzly bears, California condors, family pets, and nearly killed a fourteen year old boy in Idaho who watched his dog die in front of him after accidentally triggering one while walking near his home. abcnews.com/video/13298…

The first term gave us the wolves. The second term brought back the cyanide bombs and came for the service dogs.

None of this is about animals. The National Apartment Association actively lobbied HUD to reexamine service animal guidance. Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming praised the cyanide bomb reversal saying predator attacks have devastated Wyoming's sheep industry. The ranchers and the landlord lobby wanted this. They donated accordingly. The animals are just what happens to be standing between the donor and the check. mediaite.com/media/news…

The con artist does not hate animals. He just cannot find a use for them.

The pattern is this consistent. — Barron St. John, The Decoder Ring
