Trophy hunter who paid $400K to kill rhino allowed to import remains by Trump admin

The Trump administration has issued two permits to import black rhinos. The Obama administration issued three starting in 2013.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration says it will issue a permit to a Michigan trophy hunter to import the skin, skull and horns from a rare black rhinoceros he shot in Africa.

Documents show Chris D. Peyerk of Shelby Township, Michigan, applied last year for the permit required by the Fish and Wildlife Service to import animals protected under the Endangered Species Act. Peyerk paid $400,000 to an anti-poaching program to receive permission to hunt the male rhino bull inside a Namibian national park in May 2018.
============================================
Too much money & too much time on his hands. And he is probably a major Republican donor. So to Hell with the Endangered Species Act.

I don't know if this is the case here, but they often auction off a hunt to raise funds for conservation. $400k is a lot of money and will pay a lot of salaries to people in that part of the world.

it is a common weapon the left uses in their cultural warfare. It is like anti gun newspapers that once tried listing the addresses of everyone who has a CCW permit in a city or county.

I guess JacksinPA can describe what he had in mind by doing it, but doxxing is rarely done with benign intent.

here, not much, but in other forums, hoping that the man is harassed by anti hunting fruit loops I suspect. Animal rights whackos are among the most venal and nasty.

For decades federal regulators issued no import permits for black rhinos, but as populations rebounded in Africa the Obama administration issued three starting in 2013. The Trump administration has issued another two.
