I read on several websites last week that dt has lifted that ban again. However, no one's talking about it. I'm trying to confirm if this is true. I've called a couple of places (PETA, World Animal Protection) but have been given voice mails and the run-around. Do any of you guys have any information about this? Thanks for your feedback....

(23,656 posts)The Change.org petition, which is aimed at President Donald Trump and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, is gaining signatures rapidly since the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced it will lift the ban and that requests will now be dealt with on a case-by case-basis.

(8,042 posts)I'll check out the change.org petition. I know what you mean about outrage fatigue. It's like what are we supposed to be more upset about, kids getting shot in classrooms, cruelty to animals, and on and on.... W.T.F.!!?? Thank you for providing a starting place....
