Those meetings are "super secret", probably no more than 3 people knew of them up until this thread popped up! I am not one of the chosen few.

I have been in the business for close to 20yrs, but I'm just a working stiff. It's like any other occupation, I probably know a lot more than the average joe about the situation, but I'm not the boss and I don't know how he plans on running the company.
All Good .. There are a few guys around who try to keep tabs on the Outfitting business but really, only a few have an inside track making the real info almost impossible to gather. That situation gives rise to speculation and innuendo which is readily apparent. The fact that there is little to no transparency regarding the Gov't dealings with APOS is definitely not a good thing.
It's really not all about animals.... more about methods.
