In this cartoon, a group of animals is gathered around a beaver reading a piece of paper. The animals are a bear, a turtle, an owl, a rabbit, a fox, a deer, and a squirrel. The beaver reads, “That can’t be good. The EPA just changed its motto from ‘To protect human health and the environment’ to ‘first come, first served.’”
