USFWS has
announced that effective immediately, it will suspend all inspection and
clearance of wildlife imports/exports during overtime hours on weekdays,
weekends, or Federal Holidays.
This draconian
measure is in response to the recent across the board budget cuts implemented
by the White House as part of the budgetary sequester. As a result, shipments
will be delayed and animals will be put needlessly at risk.
We urge USARK
members to contact their U.S. Congressional Representative and Senators to ask
that they restore these vital services to prevent the disruption of our
businesses and the unnecessary loss of live or perishable wildlife/wildlife
products.

(editor- If
you like the trade or not, this means not only the inhumane treatment of
animals, but possible massive deaths.)
