Steve and his family's livelihood are affected by the decision to revoke his USDA license to legally operate tours for his wildlife facility in Mosquito Lake, Alaska. Many things are at stake here, including Steve, his employees, and the lives of his animals. Being unable to operate tours to the public would not allow him to feed his animals nor make a living for himself, as tours make up a majority of his revenue. Ann Goplen blindsided Steve and his workers to get this to happen, being nitpicky and being very unusual from previous inspections. We believe this is unconstitutional, as Steve claims he was waiting for a reply from her for a mutually agreed upon inspection.

Anybody who has had the chance to experience Steve and his animals should be considered extremely lucky, as the bond this man has with the animals are extremely special and one of a kind. More than likely, these animals will also be euthanized if Steve may also be unable to maintain his fish and game license.

This is a major problem and has been politicized greatly for no reason. Steve is one of the most authentic and caring people I have ever met, his animals are beyond happy, and him and his employees take great care to ensure the safety of people during his tours.

This is an unconstitutional act coordinated and carried out by state and federal regulators. I urge you to sign to save Steve, his animals, and the livelihoods at stake.

Thank you.
