Wildlife imports, exports - via Herp Digest


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.)
