Trump: Stop the elephant slaughter!
Trump: Stop the elephant slaughter!

Sign the petition to 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.

This is sickening -- Trump’s just given the greenlight for bloodthirsty American hunters to murder elephants in Africa and bring their heads home as trophies.

Elephant trophies were banned in the US because elephants are being wiped out by ivory poachers. But Trump’s own son shot and mutilated an elephant -- and now hunters all over America can do the same, just to hang pieces of these poor animals on their walls!

This could push elephants even closer to extinction. But the governments are about to discuss elephant conservation at a major wildlife protection meeting -- let’s make sure the US is met with a wave of pressure for them to drop this horrific plan! When our call is huge, we'll work with key African countries to deliver it.
