California Court Rules Bees Are ‘Fish’ Protected by Endangered Species Act

[LIBrty4all 3,749]

More logic from the great state of CA.  I mean, why not, if men can have babies and abortions can happen after delivery?  Makes sense...

A three-judge California state appellate court ruled on Tuesday that bees are in fact “fish” protected under the state’s Endangered Species Act.

Much like the store discount-coupons that say "not valid for purchases of milk" and they apply it to eggs, too.  They should consult the cows and chickens, I say.

So how does one get nectar to stay on a hook?

This inspires a haiku in Spanish:

 

Soy no un salmon;

no una tilapia.

Solo soy atun.

 

(I am not a salmon; nor a tilapia.  I am only tuna.)

Just wait til the fish start identifying as honey producers.  Or the bees start claiming they can produce caviar.

It's actually not that hard to understand why when you consider that other land-based invertebrates like snails are considered "fish" under the act, as well as amphibians. As your article points out,

“We generally give words their usual and ordinary meaning,” the court said in its decision. “Where, however, the Legislature has provided a technical definition of a word, we construe the term of art in accordance with the technical meaning. In performing this function, we are tasked with liberally construing the Act to effectuate its remedial purpose.”

So "fish" for this law is always going to be a term bigger than what we think of as fish. It's a funny story but that's really it.

You see a funny story, I see blatant ignorance.  Using their definition of definition, I can identify as a fish and get more protections than I have now.  (Perhaps this same logic is how libs go from aborting at 4 weeks to aborting at 44 weeks?  IDK...)
