    Trump sons' hunting in focus as US lifts import ban on African elephant

    This just stinks to high heaven.

    The Trump administration’s decision to loosen restrictions around the import of elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia has turned attention back to the president’s family’s own connection to the controversial sport.
    Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump are prolific big-game hunters and during the 2016 campaign, images re-emerged of the pair on a 2011 hunting trip posing with animals they had killed on safari, including an elephant, a buffalo and a leopard.

    I'm against it but I did see an article today or yesterday that this was done at the behest of the government there.

    Trophy hunters are psychopaths. They are not killing for food, they simply enjoy killing. It's a power trip. If they could legally kill people, they would line up for the opportunity to hunt and kill a human being.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    So, this means elephants will be slaughtered by the thousands, just for their tusks and, now, it will be legal........ sickening.

    Generally the meat goes to others. It doesn't go to waste.
