Only problem with that video is that according to my sources...there is at least one person (no names from me) in it...that is a big part of the reason USF&WS took action on the lion.

Hence...if you are in the business of guarding hen-houses...might not want to advertise that you use jackals for security.

Very well done. Mike Angelides was especially well spoken.

USF&W make up their own silly reasons to play "we are superior" to CITES, so I doubt that anything shown in this video would have made any reason.

USF&W and Europe should follow internationally accepted, and they are signatories to, organizations like CITES, rather than go off and make their own regulations to make them feel better.

You are quite correct...the film had no influence on USF&W's past decisions...but...

...there is one individual in that film who has been the epitome of why we got the USF&WS rulings we did.

While Ziggy makes a good film...he should not illustrate further to USF&W that the jackal is still guarding the hen-house.
