In order to avoid the chaos and public outrage over national parks and monuments being closed off in 2013 during the Obama administration, the Trump administration announced many public lands will remain open during the ongoing government shutdown.

However, environmental groups that bemoaned the closed parks in 2013 have changed their tune, and are now calling labelling it “dangerous” and a threat to public safety.

“Gates would be open and people could enter, but there would be virtually no staff on hand to protect them or the parks’ resources. It’s an irresponsible way to run parks,” Theresa Pierno, president of the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), said in a statement issued on Friday ahead of the shutdown.

Anyone remember how Obama closed the national parks UNNECESSARILY during the last shut down?

I was more pizzed that he closed the Monuments on the Mall.  Erecting Barrycades to keep WWII vets out of their memorial was stunning.  90-year-old people came from all over the country to find the memorial to WWII closed.

Sure.  That was unnecessary and strictly for show.  It was designed to annoy people, but the fact is we can live without the parks being open... other things are important.
