Long shot, pen raised trumpeter swan male

[rmann]

Does anyone have a large pen raised trumpeter swan male in the freezer that they really don't want?, have a person looking for one for his collection, otherwise he is trying to find a live one that is for sale but haven't been able to find him either one, Thanks

You do know this is an endangered and Federally protected species don't you? Even if someone did have one in a pen it would be illegal to possess. Your "client" is a crook.

Game farms raise them and have them publically for sale all the time, can't all be crooks? Some of the eiders are protected also, but you can still buy the pen raised ones if available.

Guess I stand corrected.  I just figured if it was on the ESA, it was just like selling a pen raised tiger and protected. I'd still like to see the exemption to educate myself.
