Please pass this onto anyone you know that breeds any of these 3 species. SCI has filed suit against the USF&Ws ruling to include these animals under the Endangered Species Act. Just another nail they're attempting to put in the hunting coffin. It's important we pass this along to those that operate game ranches.

"Safari Club International has filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to include U.S. captive populations of the scimitar-horned orxy, dama gazelle and addax in the endangered species classification of the three species in the wild. We are seeking SCI members who own captive populations of one or more of the three species who can assist us in demonstrating to the court how SCI and its members are harmed by the endangered species classification of the captive herds of these antelope. If you would be willing to help us with preparing a sworn statement that describes your ownership and conservation successes in raising and breeding these animals and in selling hunts for these animals, and that describes the impact that the endangered species classification has had and will have on your ability to continue to own, trade, breed and sell hunts for these animals, please contact me at the e-mail address or telephone number below."
