SCI Challenges California Mountain Lion Import Ban in Federal Court

August 7, 2014

Safari Club International (SCI) filed a lawsuit in federal court on August 6, 2014, challenging a California law that bans the importation, transportation, and possession of mountain lions hunted outside of California.  The California law, enacted in 1990 through a voter initiative, has discouraged hunters in California from hunting mountain lions in others states and countries.  SCI’s members in California and surrounding states strongly encouraged SCI to challenge this misguided ban.

“For too long California has interfered with the hunting of mountain lions in other states by residents of California,” said SCI President Craig Kauffman.  “Back in 1990, ill-informed California voters decided it was a good idea to take the management of this predator species out of the hands of the wildlife professionals.  Not only did they ban mountain lion hunting within the state, but they went further and tried to impose on other states their misguided views on mountain lion hunting.  The result was a harmful and illegal ban on the importation of mountain lions hunted outside of California.” Read more

NSSF to Cal Fish & Game Prez: Recuse Yourself

Attorneys for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) on Tuesday, Aug. 5, delivered a formal letter to the California Fish and Game Commission President Michael Sutton asking that he recuse himself from involvement in the drafting of regulations to implement AB711, the state law banning traditional ammunition for use in hunting, as well as any other issue related to lead ammunition or matters lobbied by California Audubon or Pacific Flyaway. Because of Sutton’s position as executive director with Audubon California, his involvement in the implementation of AB 711 regulations appears to violate state statutes and undermines public confidence in the commission’s impartiality and fairness in the regulatory process.

Michigan Wolf Management Showdown?

By Glen Wunderlich 

Wolf Facts and What It Means To You

Glen Wunderlich

Lansing, Michigan – -(Ammoland.com)-  The impending showdown over Michigan’s wolf management looms large, as we head into the current election cycle.

On one end of the spectrum is the largest anti-hunting organization in the nation – the Washington-based Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), while opposition comes from Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management (CPWM).

Over 5 ½ years ago, then Deputy Secretary of the Interior, Lynn Scarlett, announced the removal of the western Great Lakes wolf population and portions of the northern Rocky Mountain population of gray wolves from protection under the Endangered Species Act.

“Wolves have recovered in the Great Lakes and the northern Rocky Mountains because of the hard work, cooperation and flexibility shown by states, tribes, conservation groups, federal agencies and citizens of both regions,” said Scarlett. “We can all be proud of our various roles in saving this icon of the American wilderness.”

Well, almost all of us.

HSUS has already sent its lobbyists to Lansing and has threatened even more lawsuits.

Need Some Ankle Socks? Ask HSUS.

GW:  They’ve sent me some great gear over the years- for members only, no less.  The tote bags are good for carrying hunting gear, as long as you remember to turn them inside out.  And, those cute gardening gloves – good for one oil change and lube.

Here’s the latest from www.humanewatch.org…

HSUS socksGiven that the Humane Society of the United States spends about half of its budget on overhead—including tens of millions of dollars of fundraising costs that it misleadingly calls “program spending”—there’s no shortage of doodads and tchotchkes that wind up in people’s mailboxes. We’ve seen HSUS calendars, HSUS tote bags, and HSUS t-shirts. But now someone has sent us a pair of HSUS socks that he received in the mail.

Really? Socks?

Maybe HSUS should consider the symbolism of sending people something that is associated with bad stenches. After all, HSUS is an organization that only gives 1% of the money it raises to pet shelters, that recently stuffed $26 million into Caribbean accounts instead of giving that money to help needy animals, and that pays $400,000 a year to a CEO who has said “I don’t love animals or think they are cute.” Read more
