DSC Hosts Permitting Seminar w/ USFW

Jan
24
2012

The Dallas Safari Club will be hosting representative Timothy Van Norman, Chief of Permitting for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.  He will be conducting a 1-day seminar on the proper way to fill out the Captive Breeders Permit and the “Cull and Take” Permit for any of the Endangered Species you may have on your ranch. This seminar will be presented by officials from the permit office in Washington D.C.

Date: Thursday, January 26th
Location: Y.O. Hotel in Kerrville, TX (Spanish Oak Room)

This FREE seminar will begin at 9:00 A.M. and will conclude at 2:00 P.M. Lunch will be from 12:00-1:00 P.M. This meal is not provided but there is an excellent buffet at the hotel should attendees choose to eat there.

This seminar comes on the heels of the USFW’s ruling earlier this month concerning the scimitar-horned oryx, addax antelope & dama gazelle.  These 3 species will soon be subject to special permitting in order to hunt as well as buy, sell & transport them across state lines as of April 4, 2012.  There was some discussion as to whether or not organizations like the Dallas Safari Club, Exotic Wildlife Association and others would support such a seminar, as they did not wish the USFW to perceive this “open door” as complete acceptance and compliance to this controversial ruling.

ewa legal fund auction

“This 100% donation video animal auction and sale will raise the funds necessary to continue the fight for the “Three Species”. The Exotic Wildlife Association has filed a lawsuit against the United States Fish and Wildlife Service because of their refusal to acknowledge our de-listing petition, removing the “Three Species” from the endangered species list. This has been a costly battle and this auction will give us the revenue needed to continue our legal and legislative efforts. To donate to this fund raiser please contact the EWA office (info below). There is nothing to small or too large. We will auction anything and everything!” – the EWA

There are many exotic auctions around the state of Texas during the year, but this could very well be the most important auction in the history of the exotic industry!  Money raised at this event will play a vital role in the battle to possible save, not only the ’3 Species’ (addax, dama gazelle & oryx), but ALL exotics going forward.  If you enjoy hunting exotics or simply like the idea of seeing them thrive in the U.S., please make plans to attend this event.  If you can’t make it, your donations, monetary or auction items, will go a long way to seeing a successful outcome! If you are not yet a member of the EWA, join today!  Contact the EWA office or visit www.exoticwildlifeassociation.com.
