Thank you Ellen 🐘🐘

[kpete]

Compassion, social intelligence, decisiveness, patience, wisdom. These are all qualities found in elephants and not found in the people allowing them to be killed for trophies.

1. Thank you, too, kpete.

This thing about allowing elephant "trophies" to come into this country is very troubling, and it needs all the publicity it can get.

2. K&R

4. Your Greedy Old Perverts logo should show a bullet hole in the elephant.

Just to complete the point.

11. +1

3. Amen. Brings tears to my eyes. nt

[hamsterjill]

6. Me, too.

Just when I think that SOMETHING has been remedied (i.e., the laws put in place by Obama) then along comes an asshole and starts it all over again.

Trophy hunting is disgusting, and serves no purpose other than to fill an amusement for some rich asshole who can't think of anything else to do.

[Irish_Dem]

7. It literally makes me sick to my stomach to think about it. nt

[FakeNoose]

12. Just remember that the a-hole in the White House will be replaced

Hopefully soon! That's when our work really begins.

[hamsterjill]

16. I hope you're right.

I fear more destruction, but I'll gladly commit to the work beginning when this asshole is removed.

I think I can speak for many when I say that the quality of MY life (in a personal sense) has greatly declined since this moron stepped foot in the Oval Office. More stress, more anger, more resentment, less hope, less peace, etc.

I will be dancing in the street the day the asshole gets removed and I'll have video to prove it!!!

5. Uday and Qusay probably want to import their elephant heads.

10. My first thought, too

P.S. Love "Black Adder" series

8. The press should ask Trump to explain why he did this. nt

[iluvtennis]

13. Don the Con is doing this beause Obama out the original policy in place. Tear down everything O did

[oasis]

15. The press asked Sarah Hucksterbee. She referred them to

Dept. of the Interior. Looks as if they all will be ducking this issue.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

9. Tearing me up, too.

Why must so many humans be so horrible? And why must we tolerate them? Why can't we just get rid of them? Anyone who kills endangered animals (or people, who certainly aren't endangered) for sport, because they think killing is fun---DONE. OUTTA HERE. No one needs them using up any more resources.

14. Thanks for this post

[IcyPeas]

17. he's never owned a pet, right?

he has no love or compassion for animals or humans. he has no heart. he has no empathy. he is hollow inside.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Thank god he never had a pet. The poor thing would probably have been

abused beyond belief. He is a cruel-hearted bastard and I'm sure he would just see it as something else to kick around, especially if he felt rejected by it.

[iluvtennis]

20. Ditto

She's making a donation to elephant conservation group for every retweet of her post about the issue... using the hashtag
#BeKindToElephants

[StarryNite]

23. Kick for the elephants!

[califootman]

24. Don't worry...

demand will plummet as soon as Mueller floods the market with all the cheap American elephant heads he is about to hang on his wall.

[Raine]

25. such a sad day for the elephants and all who love

them.

[MountCleaners]

26. Elephants grieve

I think some people don't want to acknowledge that we're not alone on this planet.

27. One of my favorite DeGeneres quotes:

I ask people why they have deer heads on their wall. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her. ~Ellen DeGeneres

28. Isn't the Elephant the symbol of the Gross Old Party? Why do they want to slaughter it
