Would you support legislation that would allocate monetary compensation to land owners to help protect endangered species that occur on their property? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response
Answers can be variable, but some possibilities are:
Pro: Private land owners should not bear the burden alone of protecting species. Loss of use of their property to generate income is an undue punishment for a situation that they did not bring about.
Con: Private land owners should not be responsible for the financial burden of protecting species that occur, by random chance, on their property, and the government should not support this. Those species should be exempt from federal laws. We should only protect the endangered species that occur on public land or government-owned land.
