Here we go again.....! Qatar Airways Cargo has embargoed all hunting trophies from Qatar Airways flights. The announcement was made in a two-sentence memo sent to all representatives on Monday, June 15. The new policy went into effect immediately. While the memo was on official Qatar Airways Cargo letterhead, it does not indicate who issued the announcement. Qatar Airways flies into several African hunting countries, including Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda and South Africa. It also flies across Asia and Europe as well as various cities in North America. The airline is a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which recently announced it would be cooperating with CITES on issues regarding the transport of legal wildlife trade products. Qatar is now the sixth airline to announce a ban on hunting trophies since the initial announcement by South African Airways. - Barbara Crown, Editor in Chief.

Pretty soon we'll be pooling money for semi-annual private cargo charters .... JEB Katy, TX Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day - Robert Ruark DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Classic Fashionable move catering to Pine cone eaters " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

Since when have the mega-wealthy group of the world been shy of making rules for the mass population and different rules for themselves? cause some are 'hunters' they wouldn't do this?..  IF you control/mange Qatar or Emirates airways you do whats best for your business/shareholders and alter your model accordingly. and since you've got utter shitloads of personal wealth/ various income streams anyway, you just get your own load of hunting trophies exclusively flown in by private charter......A trivial cost to people of such wealth. Lines like Emirates, Qatar and Ethiad receive heavy subsidies from their partnership airlines like Delta,American, United so who knows where the influence to ban hunting trophy transport is coming from. -Would chief executives or major shareholders of Qatar or Emirates, really attempt to ignore or refuse such requests from their sugar daddy US partnership air carriers? | |||

It may be easier and more choices to pool money with an ocean freighter.

Why pool money for an ocean freighter? Just ship that way in the first place. | |||

I doubt if they will have any problems getting their personal trophies shipped.  Rich Elliott Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris | |||

Maybe the Chinese airlines will stop as well. Hell, that would be great. | |||

Looks like the anti hunting crowd has found our achilles heel. Just make it impossible to take guns to africa or hunting trophies out. If i was in the african hunting business i would be building a nice stable of functional loaner rifles (don't try to charge $100 a day ) and good consolidated shipping agent. Mike | |||

Yup, while we sit here and bitch about SCI and fight amongst ourselves. Keep this up and we are doomed . | |||

Just so that you know, I advised the rep that he was cutting off his nose to spite his own faced. He was pushing customers into the arms of competition. It didn't register. Fly Delta and friendlies and forget the opponents. | |||
