Missouri Dept of Conservation sending email blasts

Received this email today directly from MO Dept of Conservation -- why not send SUPPORT emails to your Senators in FAVOR of this bill. I'm sure the MO Dept of Ag won't be sending out blast emails!!

Immediate Action Required: Captive Cervids Transfer is Still Alive in Senate

Members of the Missouri Senate are still pushing for passage of SB964. This bill aims to transfer control of captive cervids from the Missouri Department of Conservation to the Missouri Department of Agriculture, even though both departments are opposed to the transfer.


SB964 was perfected on April 23, and is on the Formal Calendar for its third reading. This may happen today. If SB964 passes its third reading, it will head to the House for approval.


Time is of the essence. Please act now to let your Senator know you are opposed to SB964 and the transfer of captive cervids from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Agriculture.

Dear Senator (Blank),


As your constituent, I need you to know that I am adamantly opposed to SB964 and the transfer of captive white-tailed deer from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Agriculture.


There are an estimated 1.5 million wild whitetails in the state of Missouri that over 500,000 hunters pursue each fall. Protecting the wildlife of our state is a major concern of mine. It is also a major concern of my family and my friends.


Please vote NO to SB964.


Thank you for your consideration.


Sincerely,


(YOUR NAME)

We have. I know their is a lot of communications between us and the government. Hopefully we have enough on our side. The big problem is that these guys are afraid of the Conservation. They will loose funding for their campaigns if they make them mad. It is all political. When the Dept of Ag came out and said they did not want us to be under them after telling us the opposite, it really hurt our case. I have been told they were told to do this from the governor. At this point, I believe it is about the all mighty dollar. Who is going to pad who's pocket better? Who will not support me next term? Who will slander me next term? It is no longer about doing what is right and wrong. On the plus side, I guess no is the best time ever to live of the government....sad to say.
