Americans are
fueling the trophy hunting industry, and thanks to a
recent lawsuit settlement, it looks like that trend will
only get worse. Trophy hunting permits from the U.S.
government, which allow Americans to bring carcasses of
animals they kill into the country, have been paused
since 2017. Now, for the first time in five
years, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
has granted six
permits to bring the dismembered
parts of hunted African elephants into the country --
and it plans to approve more in the coming
months.
An
increase in hunting permits will only encourage wealthy
Americans to continue traveling to African countries to
slaughter innocent, endangered animals. Sign the petition to demand
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reject all future
trophy hunting permits!
As more trophies
are approved, wealthy Americans will continue to spend
their money on lavish trips to African countries to
murder these innocent creatures. Sign the petition to
urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to ban all
future elephant trophy
permits!
