Wildlife petition – Blue Eye

Please join my family and I as we stop the wildlife trade to the US. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-us-wildlife-trade. The wildlife trade here in the US is a multi-billion dollar trade. It's not just wildlife but other things like, wood,flowers,exotic plants,etc. Alot of these exotics are illegal but still manage to get here.

Canned hunting also is illegal in 33 states, but not in Missouri. Canned hunting is hunting of animals;exotic or otherwise,that are put in small enclosures about an acre with no cover to hide in or behind and they are slaughtered as trophies. This is a cruel practice and needs to be stopped!

Exotics are brought in for furs and the cruelty that is envolved to get those furs is unimaginable. How these animals are brought into the US is aweful, some die in transite while other receive a fate that is beyond human imagination, some are neglected, breeded serverely, abused or when the owners realize they can no longer take care of them they are set free in ecosystems that aren't their nateral habitat setting off the balance there. Many animals that are used to human interaction look to humans for food or worse yet the human them becomes food;it's dangerous for domestic animals,live stock and humans. Some end up dead or in sanctuaries already filled to capacity. Please help us stop this aweful tragedy!

Thank you. Contact representatives and voice your concern! Tell them to make it harder for people to get exotic animals. Tell the USDA that we want stricter laws.

Wild animals are not pets,perfomers or showcases. It's not chic to have one. They need to be left in their natural habitat.
