From U.S. Congressman Sheila Jackson Lee

“Today, in partnership with Congressman Ted Lieu, I introduced legislation to keep rare and threatened species safe from senseless trophy hunting. The “Prohibiting Threatened and Endangered Creature Trophies Act of 2018” (ProTECT Act) amends the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 to prohibit the taking of any endangered species or threatened species of wildlife or fish in the United States as a trophy and the importation of any such trophy into the United States.

“The ProTECT Act of 2018 ensures that all acts of senseless and perilous trophy killings are prohibited under the Endangered Species Act. I was in Africa when the iconic Cecil the Lion, was murdered for sport. It is a disgrace that this act was committed by an American – with his lack of respect for these wondrous animals and the preservation of our wildlife reverberating across the world. With growing support and awareness of the need to protect ecosystem and a greater need for compassion of animal welfare issues, we hope that this legislative effort will be signed into law by the President, rescinding his pro-trophy hunting directive from March of this year.”

Support for the Prohibiting Threatened and Endangered Creature Trophies (ProTECT) Act:
“Born Free USA commends Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee and Ted Lieu for introducing the ProTECT Act. The ProTECT Act affirms what Born Free has long maintained: trophy hunting is a blood-sport, not a method of wildlife conservation.

"We welcome the introduction of this important legislation, which not only seeks to put into place important protections for wildlife, but also reflects the opinion of the vast majority of Americans who oppose trophy hunting.” – Prashant K. Khetan, CEO & General Counsel of Born Free USA

“The ProTECT Act will ensure imperiled wildlife are protected, not killed for their horns or other parts to become mere decorations. We applaud Reps. Lieu and Jackson Lee for leading congressional efforts to end rewarding cruel and misguided trophy hunting of these majestic animals.” – Sara Amundson, President of the Humane Society Legislative Fund

Poachers and Ivory smugglers please note.

I sometimes wonder if poachers are actually paying the salaries of these clueless idiot!

As everywhere the problem is not the idiotic politicians but our own countrymen who entrust our futures to them.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee from Texas.

This, unfortunately, being the same Sheila Jackson Lee, who when informed of the Mars rover successful landing and subsequent transmission of photo's years ago, asked if it would be going to the location where the Astronauts had planted the flag! Sad, but true.

There is not a single elected idiot in America who does work for the benefit of his of her voters.

They all work for whoever is paying higher “sponsorship” fees!

I screwed the pooch a bit; it's Jackson Lee. I just changed it.

Don't think for a second that the antis will be satisfied with this one. Sheilla Jackson Lee may be the dimmest bulb on the chandelier. What amazes me is that some who call themselves hunters will see no problem with such crap. So long as it doesn't keep them from hunting deer, they will be ok with it.

I wonder how the hell Texans can continue to put her into office. She must obviously reside in a very protected district that votes BLUE.

Houston I believe Tony.

That makes sense. I assumed the district was in a big city.

A very black district that votes ONLY blue. It is very sad.

She also thinks the US constitution was written 400 years ago, and that there are still a north and south Viet Nam. As pointed out, not the brightest bulb in the light fixture. But in her favor, she wasn't afraid Guam would tip over if too many Marines were stationed there.

Boy howdy, that Guam capsizing episode was some good comedy.

Check out this idiot

That explains everything.
Living next door in Louisiana I can't afford to sling any mud, it would probably just bounce back and hit me in the face!
Actually, I dearly love Texas, but they have their problem children too.

Many of us Texans wonder the same thing about Arizona and John McCain!

Sheila Jackson Lee is an idiot. I bet she really does not give a hoot about trophy hunting. She is being paid by Antis.

Agree totally. That's why I didn't vote for him the last two times he ran.

Now, I wonder who is worse -- Jackson Lee or Maxine Waters from Dipshit Central.

Oh boy, what a three of the kind

What shameful political posturing.

With SJL, it's a case of if "rich" white folks do it, she's against it. It plays to her base.

An idiot voted by idiots - what more could you expect?

The only silver lining in this is that it proves that not ALL the idiots live in Kalifornia!

She's up there intelligence wise with the rep from GA who was worried Guam might capsize.

Shelia Jackson Lee surely rates in the top three in the House of Representatives. But the guy from Georgia is the clear winner. I have a Labrador that knows more than that guy.

Could congresswoman Lee be dumber than another democrat congressman that awhile back was afraid that the island of Guam would flip-over due to the weight of having too many people on it?
