The Army Corps of Engineers has begun clearing land in South Texas for the border wall, starting with the National Butterfly Center. Environmentalists and scientists are protesting the destruction of habitat vital to the monarch butterfly and other endangered species like the ocelot. Lawsuits are expected as the construction moves through nature preserves rather than private ranchland.

### The Scimitar-horned Oryx and Legal Meat Markets

- **Published:** 2012-06-14

The legal and ethical implications of eating exotic game like the Scimitar-horned Oryx are explored. The segment notes that the Oryx is thriving in Texas due to the hunting industry, but a recent court case won by animal rights groups may lead to a ban on shooting them. This ban is predicted to lead to the eventual extinction of the species in Texas as ranchers lose the financial incentive to maintain the herds.
