Why the American Humane Association wont return to Mar-a-Lago in 2018
TRUMP By Shannon Donnelly - Daily News Society Editor

While the American Humane Association has not officially commented on its reasons for moving its major luncheon to The Breakers, we can tell you that its not about The Donald.
Its about The Sons.
WATCH: Donald Trump Jr. drags shark to shore in Palm Beach
Donald turned over ownership of the club to his sons, an executive with the charity told us. That means the Mar-a-Lago Club is owned by big-game hunters. Everybody saw the pictures they posted on Facebook, posing with the dead animals they killed. They are unapologetic game hunters. Were an animal protection organization. How can we possibly continue to have our luncheon at Mar-a-Lago?
