About time something like this happened. Maybe send a copy to the USFWS and the EU council. Time they quit operating in a way that undermines the CITES as well. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

In the battle for the hearts and minds of the global community over hunting (though not exclusively hunting), it is imperative that the public has access to the thoughts, actions and especially documents of organizations like CITES (and it's CITES, by the way, not CITIES). Not quite as significant are the thoughts and actions of extremely well-informed persons like CITES Past-Presidents Wijnstekers and Lapointe. Still, they are important, as is disbursement of them via sites like FaceBook (etc.). Posting a copy of this letter here is interesting and informative, but of little value in this battle. What is needed is a link to a copy of the original letter, AND (and this is important) a series of share-link buttons to FaceBook, Twitter, Linked-In, Pinterest (etc). See HERE and HERE. So what happens is that you post a copy of the document, press-release, ruling, case-law (or whatever) here - along with a link to the original document, AND the series of social media links . Then, readers can just go click, click, click, click, click, and just like that, instantaneously, it's all over the web. And finally, in order for that to happen (in this case), CF needs to post the letter on a separate page in PDF, and not just leave it added on to the bottom of a 4-page "Special Supplement ". 'dja get all that?  <> <> <> | |||

CITES needs to send a similar letter to BO and USFWS. Mike | |||

Very good letter "We would like to see those organizations and groups involved that supposedly support the objectives of CITES stop their misguided and damaging actions against CITES decisions and the conservation of wildlife species" USFWS falls into this category .... 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 | |||

Agree with Jines. A letter with current members needs to be generated. | |||
