I heard he placed a hold on it. On regular, mainstream news stations This is a good step in the right direction for many. So, keep writing/emailing. Don't give up now. Also, as I said before, whoever/whatever has anything to do with lifting the ban, UNsubscribe their newsletters, do not donate, etc. .......... It sure was a breath of fresh air to hear this news. We learned in elementary and middle school that if we didn't like the price of an item or food or whatever, just don't buy it, and within two weeks or so, the price would be lowered. Something I'll never forget. Money (and now-a-days, the lack of) speaks volumes.

p.s. 'See, I told you so'.............There's nothing better than using our voice (power) in a calm, legal, ethical way. Just letting whatever/whomever know that we are very disappointed regarding 'this and that', especially when it's regarding animals and their protection. Never forget to remember that here's always someone somewhere who has the capability to stop and at least sit down and think about the situation.

p.s. (again): And, if this results in a permanant (as permanant as possible) decision, don't forget to write/send follow-up letters, thanking them (whomever/whatever) for their efforts.

New rules. Throw it up against a wall and see if it sticks.

Slighty off topic: There are two things that have always 'bothered me' and that I've wondered about.

1. How exactly did the Wild West become civilized. I can't find anyone who has an answer.

2. Has anyone stopped to think about why A. (the country) has so many impoverished people when A. has been (for hundreds of years) rich in the trillions of sales of diamonds, gemstones, and other natural resources, perhaps coffee, oil, safaries, and whatever else. Seriously, it should be one of the top countries, humanity-wise. (No clean water. What's that about?. They have plenty of underground water, but no wells (or very few, when donated by generous, caring people/companies.) ) I seriously think that not many people have sat down and thought about it. Many other countries don't have A.'s natural resources, and yet their people are much better cared for, more or less, as a country.

Well, that's about it for today. Always wishing all well.

Edited: No need to comment, just think about it.
