I grew up in a household…

I grew up in a household with my Dad as an avid falconer, and he continues to be to this day. I witnessed first hand how important conservation, the treatment of the environment and animals is to falconers. I support this proposal because I know that it will enable apprentice falconers to improve their stills in trapping, releasing and conservation. Furthermore, it eliminates the lottery of who has access to birds for those that really want them. Also, the addition of goshawks will allow falconers to fly an important species and further encourage conservation.
