Thank you for your message asking
for information
on our laws and regulations
pertaining to the sale of
wildlife mounts. Our
mission is, working with others,
to conserve, protect and enhance
fish, wildlife, and plants and their
habitats for the continuing benefit
of the American people.
You are correct that numerous species of birds in the United States are listed as protected in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and other wildlife mounts may be protected by other Federal laws. You can find the prohibitions in Section 16 USC §703, of the MBTA and if you go to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 50, Part 10.13 you will find a list of the Migratory birds protected under the Act. It is a violation of the MBTA to sell any mounted migratory bird, except in the case of migratory waterfowl that have been captive reared (bird farms) and the waterfowl has been identified as being captive raised.(ex toe clipped). Unfortunately, you cannot sell "pre-act" migratory birds. Our laws pertaining to the MBTA can be found on our website at: http://www.fws.gov. You can also print out a copy of the MBTA from our website. Title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 10, includes a list of all the federally protected birds in North America. This list can be found at the following website: www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfr-table-search.html. With respect to wildlife mounts made from "pre-act" endangered species, they are not illegal to possess, however, unfortunately, you cannot sell them. The Federal statute dealing with the prohibitions of the Endangered Species Act can be found in 16 USC 1538. The Federal regulations dealing with the prohibitions will provide you with a list of animals and fish that are endangered and this list can be found in 50 CFR 17. Both the statute and the regulations can be found at http://www.gpoaccess.gov. It would be illegal to sell the endangered wildlife mount across State lines. You could legally sell the wildlife mount within your State as long as there are no prohibitions of State law. You should contact your local Department of Natural Resources to enquire about any State prohibitions. Contact information for State wildlife management agencies can be found on our website at: http://offices.fws.gov/statelinks.html You could also donate any wildlife mounts to any person or entity (school, museum, etc). If you donate the wildlife mount you are not legally allowed to take a tax deduction because this would be treated as an interstate sale if the donation occurred across State lines. There can be no monetary compensation for the donation of an endangered species product. The complete list of mounts covered by the US Endangered Species Act can be found here - http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/50f17a.html To find out if there are any laws in your state regarding the sale or import/export of any mounted animal - http://www.fws.gov/offices/statelinks.html |
