Stop Murdering Elephants Trump Administration

Today the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump began the slaughter of millions of more elephant who are already on the endangered species. Maybe their territory is encroaching on a golf course.   This is sick and unacceptable.

And please keep in mind most hunters are merciless cowards. A large majority of  elephants are killed by cyanide poisoning. That's right. The cowards way out, the most painful way to die which can last for weeks. And when another animal eats the flesh it can become infected never mind a musing elephant new born.

Here is a prayer I found online written to the Trump administration shows the visceral hatred for this action.

Shame and more shame Trump. Shame for the bloodshed the terror and pain you have unleashed on the gentle giants of the world. And to you all politicians who passed this bill let the horror inflicted  on these great beasts be revisited  on your children and your children's, children tenfold.

US Fish and Wildlife service will remove the ban against importing trophies from elephants killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the US.The Obama Administration put the ban in place in 2014 after elephant numbers dropped.Hunting advocacy groups cheered the move, while animal rights activists decried it.

The Trump Administration will remove protections against importing trophies from elephants hunted legally in Zimbabwe into the US, in a reversal of Obama-era policy.

That means that US hunters will be able to bring the ivory of elephants they have killed back into the US, potentially disrupting the movement to end the global ivory trade. The move also applies to elephants shot and killed in Zambia.

While hunting elephants is legal in a number of African countries - under a strict permitting system where hunters pay high fees for the privilege - the Obama Administration put restrictions on the import of trophies in place in 2014 after the number of elephants dropped.
