Oppose the Airline Ban on Transport of Legally Harvested Animals

The airlines will be accountable for killing the "hunting circle of life process" with the proper game management over one bad apple. Hunting creates funds to help protect all species of wildlife. Let's see what happens to the these animals when land owners can no longer make an income on them from hunters that do the right thing ...... Poachers & disease will definitely have free reign across the region!

transportation bans will directly affect the future of wildlife and economies on a local and global level

There is no good reason except to be P. C. to ban freighting legal game.

Airlines will be accountable for killing the orchard over one bad apple. Hunting creates funds to help protect all species of wildlife. Let's see what happens to the these animals when land owners can no longer make an income on them . Poachers & disease will have free reign .

Huntimg is a part of the circle of our life.

Just more liberal BS to be politically correct

This will be passed on

Stop this irrational, insane, proposition!

The airline cartel is becoming more abusive with every passing day!

I think any legally harvested animal should be aloud to be flown home or to the destination of the LEGAL hunter wants it to be flown.. I totally oppose the ban that has been put in place..

Hunting is a long, and sacred tradition, and we should maintain hunters as long as possible, I. E., forever!!!!!

"The decision to take a blanket approach to the transportation of these animals is an inappropriate response and incorrectly fails to distinguish between the trade and transportation of legally acquired wildlife specimens, and the illegal trade in wildlife specimens."

Any legally harvested animal that has been properly taken care of and is packaged properly should be allowed to ship on any airline. This is a total outrage. 99.9 percent of harvested animals are taken legally. Only the old animals that are past breeding age are harvested. This prevents disease and starvation among the herds. Hunting and hunting alone maintains healthy herds. The meat from these animals prevent the local people in the area from going hungry and brings large dollars to the people and there government.

I am signing this petition to signify that I am in direct opposition to the recent airline transportation ban on legally harvested animals. The decision to take a blanket approach to the transportation of these animals is an inappropriate response and incorrectly fails to distinguish between the trade and transportation of legally acquired wildlife specimens, and the illegal trade in wildlife specimens. Hunting-related tourism is a primary source of funding for wildlife agencies and personnel, anti-poaching efforts, habitat preservation and species enrichment. Impairing the transport of legally harvested animals will cause a drastic reduction in consumer travel and thus a critical source of conservation support. In the end, transportation bans will directly affect the future of wildlife and economies on a local and global level. CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments, already in place to oversee international trade in specimens of selected species and to apply certain controls to oversee the transportation of these species. As a hunter and conservationist, I remain steadfast in opposing all poaching and unethical hunting behavior including the illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife specimens. As a consumer of the services you provide, I strongly urge you to reverse the decision to ban the transportation of legally harvested animals. If you do not, this policy decision will weigh heavily on my choice of future airline providers and I will encourage all of my contacts to make the same consideration.

This is a shame that airlines are falling in line to the Liberal agenda instead of standing up for the rights of mankind.

Legal hunters and citizens should not be penalized unjustly. If game is acquired legally, it should be legal to ship it. Don't take away the rights of the legal citizens.,

There is no reason to ban the transportation of legally taken game. you transport fish and marine life all the time.

thank you to the NRA and TSRA.

Another knee jerk reaction from those who got their feels hurt.

Many poor areas rely on income from legal hunting to provide game protection and enforcement of anti-poaching laws. Reducing the legal hunting economy there will cause the deaths of many more game animals than legal hunting, in many cases by barbaric methods.
