INGRAM, Texas — The federal court ruling that threatens the thoughtless extinction of the scimitar-horned oryx, as well as two other exotic species and a $1.3 billion industry, is receiving national attention. Award-winning television producer and host Keith Warren is putting the spotlight on the Exotic Wildlife Association (EWA) and its fight to preserve these majestic animals in a new episode of The High Road with Keith Warren. The show will air three times during the week of July 12, 2010, on the Pursuit Channel (Direct TV 608).
Last year, the EWA appealed the ruling of Federal Judge Henry Kennedy who overturned a special rule by the U.S. Fish& Wildlife Department that allowed three antelope species to be born, raised and freely traded in the United States withoutthe USFWD permitting process. Without the special rule, conservation efforts will most likely cease and the populations for the three species are expected to dramatically deminish.
“The scimitar-horned oryx is a perfect example of how successful the special rules exemption has been to the species’ survival,” says Charly Seale, executive director of the Exotic Wildlife Association. “While these animals are all but gone intheir native country, there are currently thousands of these amazing animals being cared for and raised on preserves and ranches across the country.

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — Keith Warren, one of the hunting industry’s most vocal advocates, has been selected as a guest speaker and presenter at the 32nd Annual Trophy Game Records of the World Awards Banquet. Hosted by the Exotic Wildlife Association (EWA), the event will be held on July 16-17, 2010 at the Inn of the Hills Resort & Conference Center in Kerrville, Texas.
“I very pleased to be speaking at the TGR Awards again this year,” says Keith Warren, a veteran of outdoor television programming for 25 years. “The TGR is a pure, unbiased measuring system that really honors the game animal for what it has produced and recognizes the hunters, ranches and outfitters that are such integral members of our industry. Without them and the Exotic Wildlife Association, the continued efforts toward conservation and species preservation would falter and many more of our exotic species would be threatened with extinction.”
The Trophy Game Records (TGR) of the World awards are presented annually to the top five hunters with entries for each species, Typical and Extra-Typical, and for each method of collection. TGR is the only trophy record-keeping system entirely based on objective scientific evidence and geometric formulas, and today the TGR has nearly 13,000 entries recorded.
