Jimbo nominated for White House conservation post

From The Washington Post:

The Bush administration is proposing far-reaching changes to conservation policies that would allow hunters, circuses and the pet industry to kill, capture and import animals on the brink of extinction in other countries.

Giving Americans access to endangered animals, officials said, would feed the gigantic U.S. demand for live animals, skins, parts and trophies, and generate profits that would allow poor nations to pay for conservation of the remaining animals and their habitat.

This and other proposals that pursue conservation through trade would, for example, open the door for American trophy hunters to kill the endangered straight-horned markhor in Pakistan; license the pet industry to import the blue fronted Amazon parrot from Argentina; permit the capture of endangered Asian elephants for U.S. circuses and zoos; and partially resume the trade in African ivory.

From The Mexican Staring Frog of Sri Lanka South Park episode, Jimbo and Ned host a public access show:

[Huntin' & Killin']

TV Announcer:

And now back to hunting and killing with South Park's favorite hunters, Jimbo and Ned.

Jimbo:

I'm Jimbo Kerny and this is here is Ned. Say hi Ned.

Ned:

Nnnhi Ned.

Jimbo laughs

Jimbo:

Now isn't that great? We have a terrific show for you today. We're gonna kill some elk and we're gonna kill mountain goats. Now the new law passed by Colorado legislature which Ned and I call pussy law #4 states that we can no longer kill animals in defense. In otherwords our old line of "It's coming right for us"

Ned:

It's coming right for us.

Screen says in white letters "Pussy Law #4: No animal shall be harmed, even in self defense, unlesss specific license and season is in order. Self defense can only be justified by extreme, provable peril and or documented visible bodily harm."

Jimbo:

No longer works. So now we only kill animals to quote "Thin out their numbers". If we don't hunt, these animals will grow to big in their number and they won't have enough food. So you see, we have to kill animals, or else they'll die.
