Heads of the International Endangered Species Act
The Endangered Species Act is Grossly outdated it was created in 1966 and the last amendment was back in the year 1996 !  It is now 2021!!! Please now Everyone that loves Exotic Animals and wants to get a chance to save over 16 K Highly Endangered of them?  Then we need to change the current existing Poaching and Animal Trade Penalties. Why? because the Penalties are not harsh enough just a slap on the wrist really! This is why the Exotic Animal Poaching, and Trading of Animal Parts continues to flourish all over the World Regions Globally! Now what are you waiting for??? .


Why???
First Of All, there is a Mass Extinction Happening because of Global Poaching and Animal Parts Traders that get nothing more than a Slap on the Wrist at Best!


For example, In July of 2015 A Minnesota Dentist named Walter Palmer managed to Pay a Hunting Crew in Zimbabwe Africa 50,000 U.S. dollars to somehow Hunt and Kill a Protected Endangered Species Animal named "Cecil the Lion" in a Zimbabwe Conservation Park in Africa I am sure you heard all about it. This Protected Animal was an Attraction to Tourists for decades! The Lion also had a Radio Controlled Collar and the Poaching Dentist claimed to not know this! . This does not ring true with this Story at all! Because Someone was paid off that was monitoring the Animal at all times that is why he had the Radio Control Collar so they knew where he was at all times. Clearly the Justice System for Protecting Endangered Species Like the African Lion needs a Serious Overhaul!

Let's Stop Poachers like Walter Palmer and Fine them Heavily and Lock them up for a Very Long Time with Travel Bans imposed for Life at the Poaching Location We can all do this together! It is Up to You and I to push for Change! Please Sign the Petition and Share Everywhere!



We need to Petition the Endangered Species Act Committee to raise the Poaching and Animal Trading Penalties Up to 1 Million Dollar Fine and 10 years imprisonment, not just a few hundred thousand and six months in Jail or less with Good Behavior that is a slap on the wrist! What are you waiting for Time is definitely of the Essence!!!


Repeat Offenders should be locked up for a very long time and face very stiff penalties Up to a 10 Million dollar fine and up to 25 Years incarceration! with Travel Bans for Life in Place to these Exotic Hunting Regions for these Repeat Offenders period!


This Poacher Dentist and his Hunting Crew got off Scott Free!!! they did not Pay a Fine or face any Jail Time at all for their very Evil Deed They GOT NOTHING!!! What does that tell you??? The Laws need to be Seriously Overhauled!!!! It is Time we Push World Governments and Acting Governing Bodies that are Suppose to Protect All Animals to Very Greatly Stiffen the Penalties as Above described and Shut Down Animal Traders and Poachers for Good!!! to Save All the Endangered Species that are Going Extinct! Please Get Involved and Let's Save the Endangered Species From Extinction!

Did you know that Lions and Elephants are being poached at an Alarming Rate??? We need to Push to toughen the Laws Now!!! Please Sign the Petition I created because We are running out of time! Thank, you and God Bless You for your Support and the Power to make a Difference!!!
