Ernie,



>>Probably the biggest case in US history was between the US GOV and Hank Molt, the guy who changed the reptile world and the law books forever.



That’s one that I was thinking of & thanks for sharing a personal experience from “ground zero”…



>> How do you put away the evil animal smuggler with out implicating the pristine reputation of the nations top zoos who were his knowing and very willing clients? Adjust the rules. The whole thing was a joke and has been ever since.



Yep, they are one of the “sanctioned” entities…What a dilemma indeed. It’s a joke because it is based on agenda politics…It took me a while to find a reason why the invasive species issue is so important to “them” as it just seemed to be an “out there” issue and not really connected to anything really important but it is one of the three legs of the environmental/conservation (ECO) stool. It stems from the US MAB Program as does climate change and biodiversity (endangered species and habitat). Invasive species and climate change are the propaganda banners to advance the agenda but they are just the tip of the ice-berg so to speak…



In the end, it’s about nothing more than huge sums of money from Big ECO special interests (philanthropists, dot.orgs, etc) and power (politicians) and its sad really in that throughout recorded human history, how many times has the “socialistic” experiment been tried and failed at the expense of freedom and human suffering? Like these intellectual pseudo-scientists and academics of today have a utopian plan for the American version of it…NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s just a repackaging of the same old failure…



>>Like the old saying go`s the bad guys aren`t always what they seem and the good guys aren`t always right.



I here you man except that one side has a badge, a gun and a “pseudo-law” to justify it…



Later,

Jim.
