Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 252851" data-attributes="member: 605">Back in 2007 through Executive order, the President instructed the Department of the Interior and Department of Ag to work together getting something done about CWD. It was called the Facilitation of Hunting Heritage and Wildlife Conservation Council. USDA has APHIS (Animal Plant Health Inspection Services) or the laboratories. Good stuff. Our agencies working together. But then Obama got elected. He appointed Sally Jewel head of DOI and Tom Vilsack head of USDA. They stacked the Council. Here it is: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/pressreleases/jewell-vilsack-announce-appointments-members-wildlife-and-hunting The Secretaries announced the appointment of new and returning individuals: <ul style="text-align: left"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Jeffrey Crane (Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Whit Fosburgh (Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wayne Hubbard (Urban American Outdoors)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Winifred Kessler (The Wildlife Society)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Robert Manes (The Nature Conservancy)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Frederick Maulson (Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Robert Model (Boone and Crockett Club)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Miles Moretti (Mule Deer Foundation)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Collin O’Mara (National Wildlife Federation)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Joanna Prukop (former New Mexico Secretary of Energy, Minerals & Natural Resources)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stephen Sanetti (National Shooting Sports Foundation)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Land Tawney (Backcountry Hunters & Anglers) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Christine Thomas (College of Natural Resources, University of Wisconsin)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">George Thornton (National Wild Turkey Federation)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">John Tomke (Ducks Unlimited)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Howard Vincent (Pheasants Forever)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Larry Voyles (Arizona Department of Fish and Game)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Steve Williams (Wildlife Management Institute)</li> </ul> They never got any new money for CWD research, did nothing for wildlife and spent most of their time like PrairieGhost demonizing farmed elk, deer and exotics. Eight years of that shit. But you have to love Trump. He dumped this rotten council and replaced it with the Hunting and Shooting Sports Conservation Council: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-zinke-announces-members-hunting-and-shooting-sports-conservation-council Chris W. Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action Jeff Crane Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation President Lawrence G. Keane Senior Vice President and General Counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation Don Peay Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife Founder Dan Forster Vice President & Chief Conservation Officer, Archery Trade Associations Mike Budzik former Chief ODNR Division of Wildlife John Devney Senior Vice President, Delta Waterfowl Dale Hall CEO of Ducks Unlimited Miles Moretti President & CEO of the Mule Deer Foundation Hunter Graham Hill Blake Henning Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Chief Conservation Officer Trig French National Co-Chair NRA Hunters Leadership Forum John Green Eva Shockey Outdoor Channel Host Julie Golob mith & Wesson Pro Shooter and Consultant David Spady President of the Liberty and Property Rights Coalition Bob Model, Chairman of the Boone and Crockett Club Collin O’Mara President and CEO, National Wildlife Federation There are still a few bad actors here but Boards are supposed to be balanced. However, right now there is legislation coming called the Chronic Wasting Disease Transmission in Cervidae Study Act. The Farmed Elk, Deer and Exotics are helping other orgs/agencies push for $15 million for CWD research. All money to research. I believe we have a real shot at this with David Bernhart at the helm of Department of the Interior and Sonny Purdue at the helm of Department of Ag. Thank you Donald J. Trump!!!!! </blockquote>
