USFW Service upheld the ban on importing elephants fr Zim
#250991 - 25/07/14 02:41 AM

Terrible News...our anti-hunting USFW Service upheld their ridiculous ban on importing elephants from Zimbabwe today. Zimbabwe has WAY too many elephants, and hunters' money is the only thing paying for conservation of elephants and everything else in Zim. CITES says that the quota is sustainable (and they are the world wide regulators), but USFW thinks they know better. Now pretty much everyone else in the world can hunt and import these majestic elephants, except for US hunters. Sad for US hunters and very sad for the elephants and wonderful safari operators in Zim, many of whom I call friends. Tim Herald

USFWS is full of left leaning liberals..doesn't surprise me at all...but agree, extremely unfortunate and what a load of BS --anyone who has been to Zim in the past few years can attest to the fact there are way way too many elephants in that place..the destruction to the habitat is incredible in the areas I have seen...

Think/feel the US hunters need to keep going over and hunting elephant..find a place to keep the ivory for the time being, have fake duplicates made when you get back/or not at all and enjoy the hunt..Zim's PH's need the business and the wildlife needs the money..
