Trophy hunting is the hunting of wild animals for fun. The trophy is the animal or part of the animal kept as a souvenir, and usually displayed to show off the success of the hunt. Sometimes hunts can cause horrific injuries that can lead to the animals suffering prolonged deaths.
Earlier this month conservationists and those fighting to save the African elephant received shocking news. The Trump administration announced they might overturn critical protections for the African elephant by allowing imports of hunting trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia. But thanks to an outpouring of outrage and nearly a million signatures on a Change.org petition started by animal rights advocate Kathleen, this policy change is temporarily on hold for “review.”
We need your help to ensure those trying to stop animal abuse and injustice like Kathleen have a loud voice. |
