In March 2023, Pete Moore was elected by our board as the new President of the Exotic Wildlife Association. We are excited for the future of the EWA and are looking forward to Pete's vision and service of this great industry.
EWA’s Mission is to encourage and expand the conservation of indigenous and non-indigenous hoofstock animals, and to help our Members develop and strengthen the markets for their animals. To accomplish this integrated two-fold mission, the EWA strives to:
●Protect the rights of private property owners, including, but not limited to, the right to manage and control their own land and the indigenous and non-indigenous hoofstock animals living on it;
●Defend the owners of indigenous and non-indigenous hoofstock animals against the misrepresentations and false allegations of animal rights activists;
●Articulate the need for “sustainable utilization’ of wildlife, as a viable tool to maintain proper “carrying capacity” on private property.
●Educate policy-makers, the media and the public through research and advocacy;
●Foster development of the alternative livestock industry through agricultural diversification into production and marketing;
●Promote “Conservation through commerce”;
●Provide technical support and useful information to our Members, so as to benefit them, their animals, and their industry.
