Bureaucratic rat-bastards and anti hunting PETA and HSUS penis-lacking agitators have thoroughly fugged up a real conservation success story. With no intent to criticize your view, I see no "relatively good news" about it.
Harsh? If this wasn't a public forum, I'd tell you what I really think!

That same argument can be made about any animal. Dogs, cats, pigs, pythons. Look where that has got us. I hate seeing dogs and cats in the woods. I wish I could shoot them. They have no place. Same with hogs but I have never actually seen one.

the good news is that it appears it won't be very expensive for a landowner to get an exception and it seems to be relatively easy to keep hunting going for them per land owner, and yes i'm pissed at any bunny huggers getting the feds to interfere at all in this type of thing.

The thing that jumps out at me on the publication meant to ease concerns is that it is no different than what the current administration is doing to small business all over. Yes, it looks like the cost is not substancial. Yes, it looks like the time period for review/acceptance is reasonable. But this is the government, and how hard would it be to think that at some point the fees will go up, and the time lag will get crazy. It would not take an act of congress for these to happen "administratively".

What I see is that anyone with a population is likely to play along, and see how it goes. Anyone thinking of getting into this business, they are going to see red tape and uncertainty and have to factor this into any decision. That light might just be a train.....

I am glad that 60 minutes got the anti person saying that they would rather have them wiped out... hopefully more than a few people took notice. Its sad that some stupid decision like that has to basically be a death sentence to the species.

A little different context, but larger scale, look at Kenya, once it closed its doors to hunting in 1970 the animals did not have any value to people so poaching sky- rocketed. sad to say, but people in this day and age have to see a value in wildlife in order to not wipe them or their habitat out.

I don't blame the oryx owners, it is just a stupid law that should not have made it to the books.
