    Default Petition to Ban Interstate Transportation of Wild Game

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/pe...?ocid=msedgntp

    Making that annual out-of-state family hunting trip to the old homestead could change dramatically if two environmental groups get their way. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Secretary of the Interior have been petitioned by two environmental groups seeking to ban all interstate transport of wild mammals and almost all birds, warns the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance. That includes all parts—such as meat, hides, and antlers—even if they've been properly processed by a butcher or taxidermist to comply with current CWD transportation laws.

    This means your annual deer or elk hunt with family and friends may not result in a cooler full of venison crossing state lines to fill your freezers at home. And that record buck won’t be going on your wall if you shot it in a state where you don't reside.

    The Center for Biological Diversity and the Natural Resources Defense Council are leveraging fear of COVID-19 to push forth their anti-hunting agenda with the petition, which explains that "pandemics caused by zoonoses—infectious diseases that jump from animals to people—are entirely preventable."

    “We’ve said for years that the next iteration of an African import ban would be banning of game across state lines within the U.S.,” says Sportsmen's Alliance vice president Brian Lynn. “And now here it is. By ending the transport of meat, hides, horns, feathers and such, much of the incentive for out-of-state hunting is removed. This is bad, and will have an impact on state license sales, revenue, Pittman-Robertson dollars and, ultimately, conservation. It will impact wild lands and the very wildlife these groups purport to want to protect."

    Ironically, the Center for Biological Diversity and Natural Resources Defense Council admit in the petition that their plan will not work without complimentary funding to foreign countries, as well as the U.S., to replace the lost revenues and markets. They even go so far as to suggest that U.S. conservation funding, largely paid for by hunters, be used to transition those people around the world to new markets and to fund conservation efforts overseas.U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance

    “What CBD and NRDC don’t tell you is that these bans will cripple rural Africa, destroy decades of conservation work in range countries, will result in the loss of biodiversity when fertile habitat is turned into crop fields or pasture for livestock because wildlife will no longer have value,” Bruce Tague, vice president of government affairs at Sportsmen’s Alliance, said in the organization's release.

    Unlike state or federal legislation, which is subject to debate and vote, the petition asks the Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, and the head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Martha Williams, to use their authority under the Lacey Act, Endangered Species Act, and Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species to move the petition forward.

    “The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation has a 100-year track record of success of returning game species from the brink of extinction, and [these extremist groups are] going to dismantle and destroy it," says Lynn.

    It remains unclear whether the DOI officials are receptive to the petition.

    But why not? Just in case you are wrong? It theoretically could hurt the thing that we love the most, right? Is it really worth the risk of bringing the meat of a Berkeley County deer or duck into Charleston County? Why not just eat plant based meat if you are so hungry?

    Although this was not inter-state transportation it was transporting wild animals on the interstate. After a weekend spent killing stuff on a plantation in Awendaw I was given the task of dropping off all of the pigs and deer at the processor. There were so many, all we could do was stand them up with their backs on the bed of the truck and their hooves in the air. Some were cleaned and just cut off legs in the air and some we killed that morning. The poor truck was riding low with the weight and the bed looked like a bloody porcupine's back with all of the hooves. I hit the interstate that sunday morning and let it ride. Somewhere I have a picture of the truck. A lot of stares at me.

    We also donated what would not fit in the truck to the neighborhood drop off spot which was a picnic table at the road under a large live oak. Seems like we dropped off 10 pigs or so.

    HAHAHAHA. That was my first thought. "Well I guess I'll save $500 a year on Missouri deer and turkey tags"

    The creek below the bridge on 2th's street used to mysteriously start smelling odd a couple days after August 15...

    They should require birds to get passports if they want to cross state lines.

    Fairlawn or as we in forestry called it “Unfairlawn” when it was time to cruise the timber through the water and mosquitos. But good times never the less.
