SCI Seeks Owners and Hunters of U.S. Captive Herds of Scimitar-Horned Oryx, Dama Gazelle and Addax

SCI’s attorneys are seeking assistance with the lawsuit SCI recently filed to challenge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2005 decision to classify captive populations of the scimitar-horned oryx, dama gazelle and addax as endangered. SCI is working with several owners of herds of one or more of the three species to prepare declarations that demonstrate SCI’s and SCI members’ interest in these species and the harm that SCI and its members have suffered and will continue to suffer due to the restrictions that come with an endangered species classification. If you own a herd of one or more of the three antelope species and would be willing to provide SCI with a sworn statement to help us present our case to the court, please contact SCI’s Director of Litigation, Anna Seidman, aseidman@safariclub.org or 202-543-8733. SCI’s legal team is also looking for SCI members who have concrete plans to hunt members of one or more of the three species from a U.S. captive herd in the future. If you have a hunt planned for a scimitar-horned oryx, dama gazelle or addax within the next year and would be willing to provide a sworn statement that SCI can file with the court, please contact Anna Seidman at the e-mail address or telephone number listed above.
