Trump to reverse ban on elephant trophies from Africa (WHY? GREED.)

[CousinIT]

The Trump administration plans to allow hunters to import trophies of elephants they killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the United States, reversing a ban put in place by the Obama administration in 2014, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official confirmed to ABC News today.

Even though elephants are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act, a provision in the act allows the government to give permits to import these trophies if there is evidence that the hunting actually benefits conservation for that species. The official said they have new information from officials in Zimbabwe and Zambia to support reversing the ban to allow trophy hunting permits.

(iow those PROFITING from selling HUNTING PERMITS in these areas to goddamned BILLIONAIRES who want to kill endangered animals because they have nothing else to do with their billions, whined to the Trump admin and Trump gave in.)

1. He did it because Jr ask him to

all Jr's hunting friends will be on first of the list for those permits

pure freaking evil

2. My thoughts too. Trump's two boys smiling with a dead big cat and elephant really

ticks me off.

10. I'm sure that's it. His shithead brats whined to Daddy they wanted to be able to

bring their "trophies' home.

All to boost their fragile yet enormous egos.

[VOX]

3. What The FUCK???

Goddamnit, this, for me, is the final fucking straw, not that I have any straws left with this atavistic moron. I know, I know. It's just that animal causes are near to my heart.

I want this asshole in chains behind bars in fucking Siberia. And his worthless, dumb-as-dirt demon-seed kids, too.

[Neema]

9. I feel the same. I cannot take any more of this fuckwad.

There isn’t a level of hell deep enough for him.

[Dave Starsky]

13. I hate him like no one else on Earth.

I hate him and his family on an almost cellular level.

[Neema]

14. Word. I already love animals way more than humans but

this sends my loathing to new levels.

4. Every day it gets worse. A weak, totally corrupt, historically unpopular "president" is destroying

the country. I hope this story goes everywhere. A classic sign of sociopathy is cruelty to animals. Note that Trump doesn't have any pets (yet there was hysteria over the Clinton cat and the Obama dog); he also doesn't seem to mind his sons slaughtering trapped animals for "fun."

5. effing bastards

because it was put in place by Obama = must get rid of it.

I hate these fuckwads. how can anyone be so cruel?

I hope don jr.'s _________ gets cut off and used as a trophy.

[NightWatcher]

6. Because he hadn't been a horrible fuckwad for at least ten minutes and was due?

Holy crap what an ass!

7. the 2% pays a lot of money to shoot big game and they can't KEEP THE DEAD TROPHEE????

[Neema]

8. This absolutely enrages me. Beyond description.

Seriously. I can not properly articulate how heinous this is.

11. ANOTHER REASON I HATE HIM

[WinkyDink]

12. The destruction of elephants. How symbolic.
