7a7 ,congress finds3  7#a7 ,captive     
breeding programs are an essential part 
of re-establishing endangered species   
populations4  7#b7 ,while the           
scimitar-horned oryx is extinct1 and the
 addax and the dama gazelle are         
endangered1 in their native ,africa1    
thanks to the hunting industry their    
populations are flourishing and thriving
 in ,texas4  7#c7 ,u4,s4 populations of 
the scimitar-horned oryx1 addax and the

,wildlife ,center in ,glen ,rose1 tells 
,the ,houston ,chronicle1 ,in this

astonishing job of rebuilding three     
species of ,african antelope1 one of    
which is extinct in the wild4 ,when it  
comes to saving a species1 government on
 its own cannot save those species4 ,the

suit against the ,interior ,department  
seeking to outlaw the hunting of the    
scimitar-horned oryx1 addax and the dama
 gazelle1 and in #bjab the ,interior    
,department complied1 declaring their   
large and flourishing ,texas populations
 were endangered under the ,endangered  
,species ,act4  7#g7 ,banning the       

hunting of an unendangered species in   
,texas does absolutely nothing to       
protect overseas endangered populations 
in ,africa4  7#h7 ,banning the hunting  
of an unendangered species in the       
,united ,states actually places overseas
 endangered populations in danger of    
extinction by removing any incentive to 
breed and maintain them4  7#i7          
,restoring the domestic hunting of these
 species is essential to maintaining    
healthy captive breeding programs if we 
are to restore or save them in their    
native ,africa4  #c4 ,restore the
