You think this is a bad thing? Makes sense to me

This means it's going to happen more often

Good. Build more shit. Gonna help the economy

"Good. Build more shit. Ruin the world"

If they know they won't be punished, they won't take precautions to make sure it doesn't happen.

Exactly

The previous rule was excessive and restricted the economy

Some restrictions are the point. If a company can destroy protected habitat we're worse off as a society.

It's a balance but peta folk went way too far. Human progress is more important than some random animals

Bulldozer are gonna be killing endangered animals for fun now. Great

Make the same rule for hunters please

Youd use it to murder protected animals
