I sense your humor in these statments you made, but the real motivator for these people importing these boas is GREED! These importers just buy twice as many when the market price falls. That way they can sell them cheap and still make money. How can we stop the importers? I would sign in favor of stopping it all.

I just cannot say I really understand all of importings implications. I hope there are those here who can shed some light on this.

I may be wrong about this statement, but it seems there are some who have posted here that are in favor of importing...I read about new hog island blood being imported and it seemed to have a big reception about it. I think the market would stableize in the USA if the importing was stopped, but if it was stopped what affect could it have on us ultimately?

I worry about the anti's getting any leverage at all, but if it is best for the industry, I am all for it. Andy
