Baby ElephantSCI Counters Antis' Lies About Federal Wildlife Conservation Commission

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Safari Club International isn't about to sit by idly as anti-hunters attack a federal conservation council and its members.

Anti-hunters never let facts get in the way of an emotionally-based false argument, as is evidenced in their attacks in the media on the meeting of the International Wildlife Conservation Council in Atlanta, GA.

“The shameful criticisms of the IWCC from the anti-hunting community are not surprising but are characteristically unfounded and disappointing,” said SCI President Paul Babaz. “Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke has assembled an advisory group of individuals with scientific expertise and hands-on experience with the conservation strategies that are succeeding in Africa and elsewhere around the world.

“Not only is the hunting carried out by the members of the IWCC and their constituencies sustainable, but it has been recognized by scientific authorities around the world, including by the IUCN and CITES, as having a significant role in the conservation of many species. It is time for the anti-hunters to grow-up and recognize that hunting has historically played and will continue to play an important part in international wildlife management and conservation,” Babaz stated.
