I would like to see Agenda 8.3 discussed again. When that came out, I decided that NAFA is just too liberal for my tastes. For example, the following was found on NAFAs website. As far as I am concerned its ambiguity is telling....
"Private Ownership of Raptors NAFA is a strong supporter of private ownership rights of captive bred falconry raptors, within the overall meanings of this policy. From a practical perspective however, NAFA’s position is that the well-being of raptors is a higher priority than the rights of the falconer. Falconers do not intentionally place their own interests above the well-being of their birds. Therefore, NAFA supports the current legal frameworks which allow only duly licensed persons to possess raptors for any purpose."
For me, refusal to acknowledge 'falconer's rights' with resolve, is suspect. The concept of private property can never be questioned. Just because a vehicle must be licensed, doesn't mean your car isn't your private property!
