<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Tahoma">My museum’s collections committee recently voted to
deaccession a Persian Fallow Deer mount (the taxidermy is poor quality). Whenever
possible, we try to find homes for our deaccessions at other museums or
collecting nonprofits, before we resort to sending pieces to public auction. However,
since this particular specimen is endangered, we’ve been researching
what/ if any restrictions we’ll face to sending this mount to auction. All
we’ve been able to find are the restrictions to exporting the specimen,
but nothing regarding its sale within the U.S. If you know of intra-U.S.
sales restrictions on endangered species, could you please point me in the
right direction to those laws? </span></font></p>
