GASTONIA, N.C. –– Premier Body Armor engineers have uncovered an unsettling practice in the manufacturing process of UHMWPE ballistic plates in China. Ironically, environmental regulations may be compromising the durability and safety of some Chinese-made body armor. Recent findings suggest that the adoption of water-based resins—part of China’s regulatory push for environmentally friendly manufacturing—can significantly reduce some armor’s longevity and compromise its ballistic protection.

Fall & Winter ‘Convertible’ Roost Boxes

A reversed Convertible Roost–Nest Box with the entrance positioned at the bottom of the box can benefit some birds during harsh late fall and winter weather periods.
Black-capped Chickadees are among the cavity nesting birds that will use a Convertible Roost–Nest Box during winter – and during spring when the nesting season begins.
Installing a perch in a reversed Convertible Roost–Nest Box with the entrance hole positioned at the bottom of the box for winter roosting.

Some cavity nesting birds will use a nest box as a roosting location overnight and during inclement weather during late fall and winter. This is especially true for small owls and woodpeckers, and some cavity nesting songbirds like bluebirds and chickadees. Better yet though, are “Convertible Boxes” that can be used as a roost box during fall and winter, and as a nest box during spring and summer – and they are becoming big hits among birders. They are truly real 2-in-1 birding products that can benefit birds year-round. Read more

CDC Puppy Ban: Date Set for Oral Arguments

On Thursday, Dec. 19, the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation (SAF) will present oral arguments in support of its request to enjoin recent dog-import restrictions imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If granted, the preliminary injunction would essentially pause implementation of the rule’s restrictions until the court issues a final decision on the matter.

SAF sued CDC in August 2024 to rescind a rule restricting the importation of dogs into the United States. Shortly after suing CDC, SAF filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. The CDC opposed that motion, and SAF answered with additional arguments and reaffirmed our commitment to holding CDC accountable for its overreach.

“We’re looking forward to presenting our case,” said Michael Jean, Litigation Counsel at the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation. “We’re confident the court will agree with our briefings that CDC’s restrictions are too broad, unnecessary, and an overreach of the agency’s statutory authority. A preliminary injunction is just the first, but necessary, step in protecting the interests of our members until we can do away with this rule altogether.” Read more

AZ Game and Fish Relocates Female Bear and Two Cubs from Crown King Area

The sow and one of the cubs were released Monday at an approved release site in a remote area. The other cub was discovered to have a previous infection in one of its legs when it was captured, and it was taken to a wildlife rehabilitation center, where it was evaluated by a veterinarian and treated with antibiotics.

The Game and Fish officers were patrolling through Crown King Sunday afternoon when an area resident flagged them down. The resident said the bears were currently in his garage getting into garbage. The bears had reportedly been seen at other times over the past couple of months, and although they had not acted aggressively toward people, they seemed to be increasingly comfortable frequenting areas of human development.

The wildlife officers quickly evaluated the situation, then darted the sow and both cubs with a sedative. With the assistance of Crown King Fire Department personnel, the officers were able to capture the sow and one cub and safely remove them to a more suitable area away from people. However, the other cub quickly climbed a power pole, became entangled in phone lines near electrical equipment, and fell asleep. Read more
