US Government needs to BAN the IMPORTATION of TROPHY KILLS NOW
We as a nation are supporting the decimation of endangered species by allowing the importation of their carcasses, body parts otherwise known as "trophies" by the American hunters that kill them. This NEEDS to STOP NOW!
We do not need any more Cecil's on our nation's conscience!
We do not need any more Cecil's on our nation's conscience!
Why is this important?
The brutal slaughter of the lion Cecil, a Celebrity tourist attraction of Zimbabwe, was poached by American hunter Walter Palmer, who has been trophy hunting for years. Cecil's carcass would have been shipped to this country legally, had it not been impounded as evidence of criminal activity in Zimbabwe.

We as a nation need to BAN the importation of carcasses and body parts, otherwise known as "trophies" into this country by American hunters. We as a nation should NO LONGER support the decimation of the world's wildlife for this sick sense of entertainment. We no longer want to support the practices of Cowardly and Arrogant Hunters who pay for the perverted pleasure of killing innocent and defenseless and often endangered wildlife.
We need to BAN the importation of the SPOILS of the HUNT NOW!
