Trump's disgusting plan for elephants

This is Trump's son with the tail of an elephant he killed. Months ago, Trump tried to give him a sick gift, changing the law to let bloodthirsty American hunters murder elephants and bring their heads home as trophies. Under massive public pressure Trump backed down, but now he's trying to do it again. We have to stop him. Let's urgently grow our campaign and spark another media storm -- click below then share everywhere: This is Trump's son with the tail of an elephant he killed.

To President Trump, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and conservation authorities around the world: Elephants are facing extinction and 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. We call on you to do all you can to reverse the US decision to allow the import of elephant trophies, before it is too late. 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 ramp up our giant call for the US to drop this disgusting plan, then work with people Trump will listen to and make sure we win. 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 MORE INFORMATION Trump Administration Makes Elephants Fair Game for Hunters as Trophy Ban is Lifted (Newsweek) http://www.newsweek.com/trump-sparks-outrage-among-wildlife-conservationists-after-quietly-lifting-ban-833749/ Elephant trophy decision faces pushback from some Trump allies (The Hill) http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/377471-gop-torn-on-elephant-trophy-ruling-as-trump-stay...
