BILL NUMBER:  S1883
in relation to enacting "Cecil's law" relating to foreign game
Section 1 of the bill amend section 11-1717 of the environmental
conservation law, subdivision 2 as amended by section 18 of part H of
chapter 58 of the laws of 2012 by including in the definition of
"foreign game" the "big five African species" and adding new
provisions which specifically prohibits the import, possession, sale
or transportation of any of the "big five African species" and give
any law enforcement officer authority to enforce this prohibition and
where necessary authority to execute any warrant to search for and
seize "big five African species" that have been imported, possessed,
sold, offered for sale or transported in violation of this section.
Section 1 also includes the following exemptions and defenses to these
prohibitions, unless such activity is prohibited by federal law: a.
the "big five African species" was located or possessed within New
York prior to the effective date of this section and the legal owner
has obtained a certificate of possession. from the Secretary of State,
or b. the "big five African species" is to be made part of a temporary
or permanent collection of a museum chartered by the board of regents
pursuant to the education law or a museum authorized by a special
charter from the legislature, provided that the article is not
thereafter sold, offered for sale, traded, bartered or distributed to
any private party, or c. the "big five African species" is distributed
directly to a legal beneficiary of a trust or to a legal heir provided
the article was located or possessed by the decedent prior to the
effective date of this section and that after transfer to the
beneficiary or heir that the article is not thereafter sold, offered
for sale, traded, bartered or distributed to any private party and
that the beneficiary or heir obtain a certificate of possession from
the secretary of state within 180 days of obtaining the article.
Section 2 of the bill amends subdivision 1 o section 71-0919 of the
environmental conservation law by adding a new paragraph g stating "In
the cases provided for in section 11-1717 of this chapter: (a) Any big
five African species, property and/or item used in connection with a
violation of this section shall be held pending criminal proceedings
in any court of proper jurisdiction, (b) a defendant convicted of this
offense shall be sentenced pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision
one of section 55.10 of the penal law; provided, however, that any
term of imprisonment imposed shall be a definite sentence, which may
not exceed two years, (c) upon conviction, or upon the entry of a
judgment restraining a defendant from importing, selling, offering for
sale, or transporting any big five African species on the grounds that
such activity is or would be in violation of section 11-1717 of this
chapter, any seized property under this paragraph shall be forfeited
and upon forfeiture, destroyed.
The continued importation, possession, sale and/or transportation of
the so-called "Big Five African Species"-lions, leopards, elephants,
black rhinos and white rhinos-is detrimental to the survival of these
species. All of the Big Five African Species are threatened with
extinction if the current rate of illegal poaching continues.
Additionally, some African countries are considering (or have already)
legalizing sporthunting and exportation of Big Five African Species.
Such countries have based the legalization on the faulty logic that
legalizing hunting of Big Five African Species will decrease the
illegal poaching and trade of these animals. Such logic is not only
erroneous, but also detrimental to the survival of the Big Five
African Species.
There is growing scientific evidence that legal trade of trophy-hunted
species preserves and reinforces the illegal sourcing of the same.
For example, South Africa, home to the second largest black rhino
population in the world, received permission by the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora to
sell permits for trophy-hunted rhinos in 2004. Many of these hunts are
purchased by Americans, and the trophies are import into or through
the state of New York, The country has since seen a marked rise in
illegal rhino poaching, with the World Wildlife Fund reporting that
rhino poaching has increased 5,000% since 2007.
Accordingly, by banning the importation, possession, sale and
transportation of all Big Five African Species within New York, the
State will not be encouraging or abetting the continued demise of
these species by sport-hunting. Only a complete ban can stem the tide
of illegal trafficking caused by the legalization of hunting and
capture of the Big Five African Species in some African countries.
