Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 It's strange that our government now wants to ban the import of wild birds - all because of the flue. It was only a few months ago they decided they wouldn't ban it. With a bit of luck the trade in wild birds will be really badly affected.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 They (the U.S. and GB) were supposed to ban the import of wild exotics back in the 60s. What the heck happened to that? Why'd the lift that ban. You can't tell me that all the exotics have suddenly made a mysterious rebirth and aren't still being impacted by all the folks stealing the babies.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I only knew about it because the ex's b-i-l was flying small planes in and out of Mexico, Baja. They were bringing in small cats and birds. We did our first rescues then because the kittens were so tiny and should never have been taken away from their mummy. Poor little things. The feds shut them all down. In fact, there was a big crash out where they filmed that Stallone movie (Stop Or My Mother Will Shot) at the old Naval base. The feds were chasing a couple of small planes. One crashed just the other side of the base and the other one crashed out off Fulton road. Nasty crashes with body pieces all over the place. Just about what you would expect with the feds chasing little single engine planes with jets!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 ya sure this didn't have anything to do with trying to stop drug running then?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Nope, it was all about the ocelots and marqueys (is that how you spell that?). The federallys were all up in arms because the college kids were coming down and flying into the areas they weren't supposed to be in. There wasn't that much of a drug business in those days. Not like you're thinking of. There were human pieces and spotted cat pelts and bird feathers all over the places and cops shotting dogs for carrying off pieces of flesh.
