As usual, standards, definitions, and laws are way too flexible with leftists trying to force land owners, corporations, and builders to grant concessions or else they will file lawsuits to delay or prevent expansion of land use or new construction. Laws can be weaponized (aka give us money or we will look for any way to file lawsuits to delay your project beyond the financing milestone penalty deadline) for profit wherever their is land use changes, construction, or rezoning.

https://www.scribd.com/document/576801959/C...g-Bees-are-fishCalifornia's Endangered Species Act (ESA) protected only “birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and plants”. Insects are invertebrates and as it turns out, some fish are too. However, in 2020, the Superior Court in California ruled that the California law’s reference to “invertebrates” had to be read in context, and included only aquatic animals. This 2020 judgment was
appealed by the Xerces
Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Defenders of Wildlife, and the Center for Food
Safety. The California State Court of Appeals ruled that bees can be classified as invertebrates protected under the law. Furthermore, the Court ruled that the State Fish & Game Commission can add more insects to the ESA list as it sees fit.
The logic that bees are fish comes from the fact that the ESA law was not modified by the state legislature. Therefore, bees must be forcibly fit into the invertebrate fish category and that the prior legal judgement that fish are aquatic is no longer true. This is yet another infamous California situation where the laws as written are NOT enforced as they are written. This legal case falls under the saying "[

legislating from the Bench" where the judge essentially creates the new law without the law actually being created by the Legislature.
