I totally agree. It is way harder to get a species listed Federally than it is for States to enact protection. For one states are much closer to their own species local situations and better poised to study them, with State biologists, through colleges, etc. Also a State can enact less restrictive types of protection early on that can ultimately reduce or eliminate the need for total Federal protections. I don't always agree with what, when and how a State protects it's animals but I agree with the need for States to be involved.
