California court rules that bees are a type of fish in order to protect them under the state's endangered species act (really...)

A trio of judges in California said on Tuesday that bees can be legally classed as a type of fish as part of a ruling that brings added conservation protections for the endangered species.

"The issue presented here is whether the bumble bee, a terrestrial invertebrate, falls within the definition of fish," the judges wrote in their ruling. And, they concluded, it does.

Formerly, the problem for bee-lovers — and lovers of all Californian terrestrial invertebrates — was down to the way protected animals have been classified in the state's laws.

This “follow the science” crowd is really something.

I am sure he did (or was it 3?) He is not a biologist, so he can’t tell his a$$ from a hole in the ground.

No. They won’t stop. They cannot justify their insane “edicts” with science, reason etc. so they have to resort to this BS.

Don’t try releasing them into the ocean. It won’t end well.

The critical question is that of whether the bee identifies as a fish.

Even The Bee couldn’t have thought that one up.

My daughter’s university dorm had a simple rule for pets allowed in the dorms. Only fish in fishbowls were allowed. Their definition of fish was quite simple: “anything that is alive eight hours after being placed underwater in the fishbowl.” Only California judges would be too dumb to understand this.

Abraham Lincoln faced with some thorny issue that could be settled by a twist of language, or a slight abuse of power, asks his questioner how many legs would a dog have, if we called the dog's tail, a leg.

"Five," the questioner responds confident in his mathematical ability to do simple addition.

"No," Lincoln says. "Calling a dog's tail a leg, doesn't make it a leg."

American Thinker: How many legs does a dog have?

But, what if the fish identifies as a turtle?

From the asshole state that is ground zero for the decline of bees everywhere.

When is a bee a fish? When a retard calls it one.
