Dear friends,
Trump just quietly changed the law -- AGAIN --
to let bloodthirsty American hunters murder elephants
in Africa and bring their heads home as
trophies!
He tried to do this before
-- but after massive public pressure, including a
2-million-person Avaaz campaign, Trump put this disgusting
plan "under review".
Now, months later,
he's trying to sneak it past
us.
We can't let him
get away with it. Even people on Trump's right wing
are challenging him on this -- let's quickly build
another mega-petition and Avaaz will team up with
members of Trump's party to deliver our message to
him. Sign now

President Trump, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and
conservation authorities around the
world:
Elephants are facing extinction -- this
is no time to strip them of protection. Trophy hunting drives
the slaughter of elephants, increases demand for their body
parts, and projects a double standard that makes it harder to
tackle ivory poaching. The proposed case-by-case standard is
arbitrary and insufficient to protect this incredible species.
We call on you to open a public discussion on this issue and
do everything you can to prohibit any elephant trophy imports
to the United States. Stop Trump's disgusting plan & save the elephants!Under
pressure, Trump himself called this policy a "horror
show" just a few months ago. But now with the dust cleared
and eyes elsewhere, he's allowing elephant-killers like his
son, who notoriously shot and mutilated an elephant, to bring
home their body parts as souvenirs -- even as ivory poaching
threatens to wipe these amazing creatures out. Trump
officials say they'll only lift the ban on trophy imports on a
"case by case basis" but experts say it’s almost impossible
to stop poaching when wealthy Americans are shooting elephants
for fun. The only way to save elephants from extinction is
to stop killing them, and reduce demand for their body parts.
When Trump tried to do this months ago, the public
shut it down. We can do it again. Let's build a giant call
for the US to drop this disgusting plan, then work with people
Trump will listen to and make sure we win. Sign now
with one click and share with
everyone! Stop Trump's disgusting plan & save the elephants!Time and time again, our
movement has rallied for elephants. We’ve pushed for ivory
bans, funded undercover stings against poachers,
and pushed for even greater protections. Now we need
to come together for these amazing creatures
again.
With hope,
Danny, Bert,
Sarah, Spyro, Fatima, Mike, Ricken, Emma, and the rest of the
Avaaz team
