Just the vid I guess. I am sure other stories are out there about this.SES,
Any details?
Even if they are all legal, that is one helluva lot of hunting. Any way, leave it to the lamescream media to try and make a big deal out of it.Until now, the story is that someone reported that there was a warehouse full of taxidermy, and the authorities are investigating.
There are 1090 animals, including 198 elephant tusks, and it is a private collection.
Our media, which is mostly left leaning and of course anti-hunting are speculating that all this is illegal, but so far there is no official statement by the police/customs.
A few months ago, we had the same thing happen to one our more important international hunters, with hundreds of trophies from all over the world.
He could prove that he had the proper documents for all of them except for about a dozen which he had hunted before CITES existed !
I was reading about a coming Taxidermy auction & there was a small paragraph about this, it seems it has been run as a Museum for some time ?
So the Feds could hit the Smithsonian Museum soon & seize an illegal haul ?
" Meanwhile, the BBC is trying to ‘cancel’ hunting trophies. It ran a story about a trophy collection in Valencia, inherited from a hunter by his two sons in 2014, that Spanish police recently impounded over import certificates. Despite images showing the Valencia collection laid out as a trophy museum, the BBC attempted to criminalise conservation efforts by referring to the police ‘haul’ of trophies. The UK’s state-run news organisation left out important sections of the story, such as the warehouse’s public use as a trophy museum for at least eight years. "
