What an absolutely retarded idea. The cream on top is that the US should fund projects overseas... yeah, that's definitely going to improve trade opinions with the United States, guys. The US government is practically shooting itself in the foot with these ridiculous trade restrictions.
Ultimately, if the United States (Government specifically, people are lovely yet aren't listened to) keep up with these trade restrictions in developing nations then said developing nations will be forced to form closer relations with China. It'll be the US government's own damn fault if that happens.
EDIT: Alright, based on what I've read in the article I find the idea of such a proposal ever passing highly unlikely. Not saying there aren't groups who want this to happen but I think us hunters are caught up in a fear-mongering war along with the antis. Remember you can sign a petition on anything you'd like. Literally, and this particular petition is in that same league.
