At least the importer fessed up to being chicken.

Now it's on you and the boob who loses your application.

Do you sense that you have moved to a third world country where citizens can be ignored by the bureaucrats?

Good luck bluey. At least someone is talking to you and trying to sort this out. Shame it sounds like you are dealing with Telstra personnel though.

Trophy hunting ban puts animals ahead of humans

EVERY sitting week, some bad legislation manages to slip through the Senate and pass into law.

Sometimes it is unnecessary or illogical and a waste of time and resources.

Some offends constituents, is counter-productive, bad for the environment or bad for people.

The ban on the importation of lion trophies is such a masterpiece of stupidity that it manages to tick every box.

If there were a Hall of Fame for Ineptitude in Government, I would advise Jason Wood, who is responsible for the ban, to iron his tuxedo.

The ban is in the news again because Minnesota dentist and Cecil the lion’s killer, Walter Palmer, is seeking to reopen his practice. That isolated incident means background is necessary.

I just hope this does not turn into screw the Sa lions if we can save our country from having the ban put on us. I fear it will be the same old same old hunters picking sides of what they think is best for them not all hunters.

Last I looked elephant were not raised to be hunted but the united states banned them. It is not about wild,raised,unfenced or fenced. It is about stopping all hunting one piece at a time till it is to late to stop the anti hunter train that will run us all over as we fight with each other.

For the record yes we have hunted a lioness in SA and I am as proud of my son as a dad can be for hunting her.

Feel for you there billc...I hunted with my son when he shot his lioness in RSA ( where we live) and can vouch for that ABSOLUTELY PROUD FATHER MOMENT and still continues to this day.. stuff the greenies!!
