SAD. Old enough to vote but still little boys.
'Among those who could benefit from the rule change are President Donald Trump’s adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, who are known big game hunters. Photographs of the pair surfaced in 2012 showing the two men posing with the carcasses of several dead animals from a hunting trip they’d taken a year earlier in Zimbabwe.'

'The images, taken from the Hunting Legends website and posted in a YouTube video, show the two men posing next to a number of animal carcasses, including one photo of Donald Jr. holding the severed tail of an elephant.'

T-Rump doesn't give one dry fart about any other human on the planet
except Putin, you think he's going to care about anything else that
doesn't have money he can grift?
This had flown under my radar until tonight. Last Spring T-Rump
rescinded an Obama rule (cuz it's impossible for *ANY* of them to be any
good at all cuz he's black) loosening -- fuck it, removing pretty much
any regulation on bear and wolf hunting in Alaska.
The state of is home to 16 US national wildlife refuges,
covering 76 million acres of land.
Under the previous law, hunters were prohibited from aggressive
tactics such shooting or trapping wolves while at their dens
with cubs, spotting grizzly bears from aircraft, killing
hibernating bears, trapping bears with wire snares and luring
bears with food to get a point-blank kill.
That's all legal as of April, and every Republican is complicit. But
they'd rather be represented by a child molester than a Democrat who put
murderers in jail, so there are probably plenty of brainwashed Trumpswab
monsters who are actually proud of their restored big strong he-man
ability to shoot hibernating bears.

For Now, Trump to Keep Ban on Importing Elephant Trophies
Nov 17..
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Friday reversed the government’s decision to start allowing hunters to import trophies of elephants that were killed in two African countries, pending a further review.
His evening Twitter message reversed a decision by his own administration over Zimbabwe that was announced this week and promoted as recently as Friday afternoon by the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
“Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts,” Mr. Trump tweeted. “Under study for years. Will update soon with Secretary Zinke. Thank you!”
....
Rest of article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/17/us/politics/trump-elephant-trophy-ban.html
It goes on to say the decision applies to two unnamed African countries claiming it has to do with 'conservation and healthy herds..'
One wonders what his motives are... Votes for next election?

Ryan Zinke, the interior secretary, said in a statement later Friday night that the decision applied to two African countries, though it did not name them.
“President Trump and I have talked, and both believe that conservation and healthy herds are critical,” the statement said. “As a result, in a manner compliant with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the issuing of permits is being put on hold as the decision is being removed.”
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service had signaled its intention to end the 2014 ban, citing Zimbabwe’s conservation efforts. On Thursday, the service announced on its website that it would begin issuing permits to allow the import of elephants hunted from 2016 to 2018, with two trophies allowed per import.
Nearly two weeks ago, the department also waived the ban in a similar manner for Zambia.
Zambia and Zimbabwe have had mixed success in recent years maintaining or increasing their elephant population, according to the Great Elephant Census, a project financed by Paul G. Allen, a founder of Microsoft. The project also found that the African elephant population shrunk nearly 30 percent from 2007 to 2014.
It is unclear why Mr. Trump reversed the decision, but the announcement faced backlash from both conservatives and liberals. Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, said Thursday on Twitter that she did not understand how the decision would not “INCREASE the gruesome poaching of elephants,” while the comedian Ellen DeGeneres started an online campaign, using the hashtag #BeKindToElephants, to raise funds for elephant conservation efforts.
On social media, photos were being shared of Mr. Trump’s two elder sons hunting on safari in Zimbabwe, including one photo that showed Donald Trump Jr. with a severed elephant tail in one hand and a knife in the other.
The White House argued that the hunting would bring money to local communities and incentivize efforts to protect elephants. In defending the decision on Friday, Ms. Sanders cited a recently completed Park Service review that had begun during the Obama administration.
“This review established that both Zambia and Zimbabwe had met new standards, strict international conservation standards that allowed Americans to resume hunting in those countries,” she told reporters during a news briefing.
Under President Barack Obama, the practice had been banned because of a lack of data on conservation efforts in Zimbabwe.
Safari Club International, a trophy-hunting organization that sued the Obama administration in 2014 in an effort to challenge the ban and was the first to report the policy change on Tuesday, lashed out against the news media and “anti-hunters” for swaying the Trump administration to lift the trophy ban.
