Thought Id resurrect this post, since the issue had been mentioned a few times lately, and some may have missed it previously.
Whos pushing for gonacon? Environuts & Animal rights groups.
What has been the response?
From Ohio as told by one such idiot animal rights group, I think it pretty much speaks for itself on Ohios stance:
"
The ODOW and ODNR have blocked speakers from the NWRC from appearing at our seminar in Ohio. Below is a limited information from the NWRC about Gona-Con. We will discuss more at our conference on Thursday, October 20th (see more). The ODOW or ODNR who have been invited will not be present to defend their position as they have declined to appear."
ODNR and ODOW was invited to this event, they refused to attend and declined our invitations and did everything to stop the event from occuring. The ODNR and ODOW have also blocked the appearances of biologists from the NWRC (National Wildlife Research Center) of the USDA who have created Gona Con a revoloutionary immunocontraceptive. The work NWRC is something that the ODOW does not want Ohio citizens to hear.
Please contact Governor Strickland (614-466-3555), your local State Represenative, State Senator, local Mayors and ask for changes at the ODNR and ODOW! They should be working for the citizens of Ohio and not ignoring us.
Call Govenor Strickland (614-466-3555) tell him we need our state agencies to be responsive. Please call The Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources (ODNR)

What do MOST states think about birthcontrol/gonacon?
"few states had a policy" "and most biologists indicated the agencies would NOT likely grant a research permit for deer fertility research"...
----------------------------------------------------------
Pennsylvania's stance?:
"Given the unproven nature of these drugs to control or manage a free-ranging deer population, any Game Commission guidelines for their use will be designed to rigorously test this drug in real world circumstances."
I see pgc being an exception here. No wonder seeing as how close theyve come to be with audubon. That little stunt going hand in hand with hsus spokeswoman to petition legislators seems a bit more meaningful now as well, when you consider thats exactly who is pushing for this birth control.
