FWS to Propose Injurious Species Listing under Lacey Act

BurmesePython

BurmesePython

NEW YORK, NY – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will propose to list the Burmese python and eight other large constrictor snakes that threaten the Everglades and other sensitive ecosystems as “injurious wildlife” under the Lacey Act.

Salazar made the announcement at the Port of New York, which serves as the largest point of entry in the nation for imports of wildlife and wildlife products.  Last year, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Inspectors at John F. Kennedy International Airport handled more than 27, 000 separate wildlife shipments valued at more than $1 billion,  or 16 percent of all U.S. wildlife imports.

Thrill killing' poachers pose threat to wildlife

"You have to wonder what was going through their heads," Nevada's top game warden, Rob Buonamici, says of poachers.

"You have to wonder what was going through their heads," Nevada's top game warden, Rob Buonamici, says of poachers.

Deer, elk and even raccoons have a new type of predator to worry about: Poachers who kill increasingly for the thrill of it.

Scott Talbott, an assistant division chief with Wyoming's Fish and Game Department, calls it "wanton destruction" that goes beyond shooting.

Poachers run down deer with cars or snowmobiles, and chase raccoons, then beat them to death with clubs. They also shoot deer, elk and antelope, sometimes removing valuable antlers but often leaving the carcass to rot on the ground, Talbott and other wildlife officials said.

"It's thrill killing — people just going out and killing stuff," Talbott said. "We have seen a significant increase of that in Wyoming. It's disturbing."

Northern Region

While patrolling the Hackensack Meadowlands during the waterfowl season, Lt. Applegate and COs Kuechler, Sutton and Holmes encountered a group of hunters that included an individual had been apprehended last season for waterfowl violations. The officers observed the hunters shoot well beyond legal hours, and saw several Canada Geese downed, although the season for geese was closed. Unable to reach their location by boat, Lt. Applegate was able to locate their vehicle parked on a rail road bed. The officer waited as two individuals eventually approached the truck. As the officer announced himself, one individual started shouting about throwing everything in the water, fell to the ground, and clutched his chest as he claimed he was having a heart attack.
