thank you for posting.

Yes, thanks for posting. 206 animals rejected out of 39,000 imported is .5%. Pretty damn good if you ask me.

I sent the reporter a lengthy email.

Next, the reporter should report how much beef gets imported to US
How much beef got rejected
How many Chinese toys imported and how many got rejected
And in the end how those cows got treated in the country of origin and how much child labor was used in those toys making factories

A great point.

Everyone should know about WASHINGTON State Initiative sponsored by Seahawks owner and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen re Wildlife Trafficking. If passed, this Initiative will make it a Gross Mis-demeanor or depending on Value a Felony to trade,buy, sell, barter, auction, etc. etc....EXCEPT for Musical Instruments, any parts of Elephant Ivory, Rhino horn, etc....but the scary part, Intentional or Unintentional, this Initiative covers over 9000 Species of Red Lined species as per CITES definition...per John Jackson III, Conservation Force!!! This is a TRAVESTY Folks....and may come to your state in the Future sponsored by the bleeding heart Billionaires of the United States!! We are also recipients of I-594, the gunshow and private transfer background check...from Bloomberg of NY thanks to our Liberal voters...
This I-1401 not only affects hunters trophies and bobbles, it covers granny's ivory beads, ivory beads and pistol grips, artwork, on and on.....
HERE WE GO!!
I am NOT so Cheers-full!!

Oh, yeah, that make sense.......

It sounds like the exact same initiative that was sponsored here in Nevada. We fought like demons against it and its sponsors and it never got out of committee. There is a push to have this particular initiative made law in the western states, and then they can point to it as being ok with the west which is associated with a lot of hunting and outdoors. It also includes a ban on mammoth ivory, warthog ivory, and hippo ivory, does it not? FIGHT IT!

This Bill was killed in the WA Congress!!

This is an INITITATIVE to the People by gathering 250,000 signatures...which rumor has it Allen paid as much as $6-10 PER Signature to street collectors of signatures!!...then putting it on the Ballot by Proxy!!

This will cover all kinds of IVORY by definition, hippo, warthog and Walrus and 9000+ species now "Red Lined" as threatened on CITES!!

HUGE OVERREACH....and all of this is WELL PROTECTED legally by Federal and State laws...as one would see in the original article that Beretta- posted!!

AIN"T THIS DUCKY??!!

Cheers,
