The Endangered Species Act has long prohibited the import of wild animals not indigenous to the US unless it was for scientific purposes or to conserve the species from extinction.

The USFWS has now decided to re-interpret this method to allow the import for “consumptive” practices that they claim can ensure the species survival.

This program will allow “MORE” importing instead of less, less regulation of endangered animals imported. There is no doubt this is buoyed by the hunting lobby as they have longed the desire to test their “manhood” by shooting a Cheetah.
