From the outside, the repository looks like a regular warehouse. But inside, the 8,000 square foot space is home to more than a million items all made from animal products.“We now have a collection of 1.2 million items,” Sarah Metzer said.It’s a massive wildlife collection, with everything from elephant trunk lamps, to entire lions and python boots, all organized on shelves.“Fashion items that we adorn ourselves with, the home decor, the artwork,” Metzer described.Sarah Metzer is the Education Specialist at the National Wildlife Property Repository. This space is now home to items that were once part of the illegal wildlife trade and confiscated by law enforcement both within the U.S. and from the country’s ports of entry.“What we’re collecting here are the specimens either seized or confiscated from ports of entry to the United States,” Metzer said. Her job is to educate people about this one-of-a-kind collection. “If they are in some violation of one of our federal wildlife laws, they have the potential to end up here.”The illegal wildlife trade involves the unlawful harvest or trade of animals, plants, or any products made from them, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife. During 2019, USFWS inspectors processed 191,492 declared shipments of wildlife and wildlife products worth more than .3 billion. The busiest ports being New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA.The repository was created in 1995 in Colorado to house a good portion of the items that were made illegally and confiscated. In 2019, the department gave out .7 million in criminal fines.However, not all items made from animals end up on these shelves, as long as the animals are captured without breaking rules.“Poaching is considered the illegal take of any fish or wildlife and the laws that regulate them,” Jason Clay with Colorado Parks & Wildlife said. “Today we’re doing one of our winter surveys on the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.”These surveys help them monitor the population. “And they’re also used to help us set our hunting license numbers,” he said. “Hunting is our number one tool for managing our wildlife and the populations.”As long as you have a license, hunting and what you do with your kill is legal. But if you’re just buying animal products, it may be hard to spot what’s legal and what’s not.“We have to make sure everything is correct and nothing is illegal,” Andreas Tsagas said. Andreas has owned his fur and leather shop for over two decades.“Most fur I have I buy from Europe,” he explained. He said he checks for tags that show what animal the fur came from, and where. “The people for wildlife check every coat.”He said if something killed illegally comes through an American port of entry, law enforcement takes it. “I like to be in business,” he said. “I make sure 100 percent everything is the way it needs to be.”“What is coming in, what is being trafficked, and what species are being represented,” Metzer said. “We do want to have a small slice of that so we can have that snapshot of what we see.”These furs and statues now serve a larger purpose, after spending some time in the warehouse.”For these materials they have the opportunity to have a second purpose,” she said. “Besides just being a former seized item, they’re going out to places like museums and science centers.”Education institutions can request certain items from the repository for educational purposes. 3412

For Monica Cooper, making it on the outside was tougher than she thought it would be. After spending more than a decade behind bars, Cooper came out of prison ready to rebuild her life. She finished college, earned a bachelor's degree to make herself marketable, and set out to find employment.Monica isn't alone. The National Employment Law Project says an estimated 70 million people, or one in three adults, have a prior arrest or conviction record. And while many exit prison ready to rejoin and contribute to their communities, they're often stopped by one little box. On an initial job application, many employers ask if applicants have been convicted of a felony. This forces many returning from incarceration to check yes, explain their conviction, or leave it blank. Advocates say that pesky box is leaving thousands of qualified workers on the shelf. Since 2004, a growing number of states have taken actions to get that box removed. The latest effort is happening in Maryland.Kimberly Haven says she was haunted knowing she'd have to check "yes" on her application for decades after completing her sentence. She's spent years advocating to get rid of that box, first successfully in Baltimore. The first version of the bill was passed in Baltimore City, and then several other counties adopted their own version. Now a statewide bill has made it to the capitol in Annapolis for consideration.Maryland Delegate Nick Mosby is pushing a statewide bill that would get rid of the box on the initial application. An employer can ask about a criminal history in the first interview but must wait to run a background check until a conditional offer has been made. He says it's just about getting employers to meet these applicants face-to-face.Certain jobs, like ones in law enforcement or one that would require you to work with minors, are excluded from the bill. Those who support it say it reduces recidivism and hits an untapped skilled resource. Put simply, they say it's a smart economic decision.But Cailey Locklair Tolle, who testified against the bill, says employers have a right to know up front whether the potential employee has a criminal history.A 2012 ruling at the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission said employers should only consider convictions directly related to a job and whether the applicant is likely to commit the same crime again. The EEOC made discrimination based on conviction records a violation of federal employment law. Maryland hopes to be the 12th state to pass the law mandating the box removal in both the public and private sectors. A federal bill has also been introduced in Congress. Kimberly says laws like these will make the difference to thousands of returning from incarceration every year. 2792

For hours, bullets flew and gunpowder wafted through the streets of North Philadelphia.Police officers trying to serve a narcotics warrant entered a row house in the Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood Wednesday afternoon. As they got toward the kitchen area, a man fired multiple rounds, forcing some officers to escape through the window, authorities said.But others got trapped in the house with the gunman after he barricaded himself. As he traded gunfire with officers outside, bullets ricocheted on the pavement, sending them crouching behind police cars.By the time the suspect was in custody nearly eight hours later, six officers were wounded. Police announced his arrest with a single tweet shortly after midnight Thursday."We're thankful. A little angry about someone having all that weaponry and all that firepower, but we'll get to that another day," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said at a news conference. "It's about the officers and their families right now."Three hours after the first shotsThe shooting started about 4:30 p.m. after officers entered the home. More than three hours after the first shots, the suspect showed no signs of surrendering, police said.Temple University's Health Sciences Center campus was put on lockdown briefly as police secured the area. Concern grew for two officers trapped in the house with the gunman as police cars and officers in tactical gear swarmed the neighborhood."We've got a pretty horrible situation unfolding, and you hear me say unfolding because it is not resolved," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said at the time.Negotiators tried to communicate with the suspect, but he was picking up the phone and not responding, Ross said. The suspect's attorney joined a phone call to reassure him police won't harm him, authorities said.Five hours after the first shotsAs the sun set and the standoff dragged on, the mayor said he was listening to police radio transmissions. Officers in the house were whispering because they didn't want the shooter to hear them, he said.Five hours after the standoff started, a SWAT team rescued two officers and three others trapped inside the row house, the police commissioner said. CNN affiliate KYW reported the officers were trapped on the second floor while the shooter was on the first floor."They were able to use stealth to do it," the mayor said. He said the shooter appeared unaware of the rescue mission.Eight hours after the first shotsShortly after midnight, authorities announced the suspect's capture.All six officers suffered injuries that are not life threatening and have been released from an area hospital, police said.The Philadelphia mayor called out the NRA and demanded a resolution to the nation's gun crisis, saying officers need help keeping numerous weapons out of criminals' hands."Our officers deserve to be protected and they don't deserve to be shot at by a guy for hours with an unlimited supply of weapons and an unlimited supply of bullets. It's disgusting and we got to do something about it ... quickly," the mayor said. "This government, both on federal and state level, don't want to do anything about getting these guns off the streets and getting them out of the hands of criminals." 3238
