The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced its new interim director – and who better to lead an agency whose “key objective” is “restoring endangered and threatened species to a secure status in the wild” than Matthew Hogan, a former lobbyist for Safari Club International.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the “33-year-old Safari Club – which is structured as a network of non-profits, lobbying organizations and tax-exempt charities –finances an influential political operation that works to ease endangered species laws restricting the importing of exotic animals slain overseas.”
