I wonder about people who want to kill animals. Let us not stand by and allow them to have their way. #trunkupwines ・・・ Donald Trump has agreed to allow legally hunted elephant trophies to be imported to the United States from two African countries. President Trump’s administration has reversed a Barack Obama-era ban on the remains of elephants killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia entering the US, arguing it can actually boost conservation efforts. --LIES-- There is no proof. The ban on imports of sport-hunted African elephant trophies from Zimbabwe was initially imposed by the Obama administration in 2014 as part of a national strategy for combating wildlife trafficking. “Additional killing of elephants in these countries, even if legal, is not sustainable and is not currently supporting conservation efforts that contribute towards the recovery of the species,” they said at the time. In the last ten years elephant numbers have dropped by 62%. There are fewer than 500,000 on the African continent today and conservationists have warned that by the end of the next decade, they could be extinct!Zambia’s elephant population has dropped from 200,000 in 1972 to just a little over 21,000, he adds.

This is FANTASTIC news!!😃🎉🐘❤ #Repost @wildaid with @repostapp ・・・ CHINA ANNOUNCES DOMESTIC IVORY BAN: The end of the world's largest ivory market was announced today by the Chinese government. Domestic ivory sales will be banned by the end of 2017 with the first batch of factories and traders to close their business by March 2017. China's impending exit from the ivory trade is the greatest single step that could be taken to reduce poaching of elephants. We will continue to support their efforts through education and persuading consumers not to buy ivory. #China #ivoryban #elephant #ivory #stoppoaching #poachingstealsfromusall #saynotoivory #jointheherd #nopoaching #poaching #stopthetrade #news #bignews #banthetrade #ban #majesticcreatures #majestic #savetheelephants #iloveelephants

Ban the Ivory Trade

I signed, it took 3 seconds. ...and having met a couple of lovely elephants in Thailand, I think it warrants sharing.

#Repost @claireskiwoo ・・・ Can we hit 8000 signatures? 💜🐘 This is Galla. He's an orphan elephant who I foster. He will turn 3 years old on Christmas Day! Galla lives in safety @dswt with his family of other orphans and keepers. Galla's future is under new threat. The U.S. government is preparing to pass a Bill that will secure the extinction of African elephants like Galla. Don Young, Republican for Alaska introduced H.R. 226; the African Elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act. This Bill would allow ivory to be traded both, within the U.S. and also to be imported and exported. This is despite the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service banning the sale of elephant ivory in interstate commerce. Conservation experts agree that any trade in ivory only serves to undermine efforts to stop poaching and trophy hunting as it keeps the demand for ivory alive. This Bill is entirely audacious because it uses legitimate elephant conservation measures as a thin veil of justification for trophy hunting and ivory trading. Anti-poaching units/programs are exploited in this Bill by painting a picture that anti-poaching measures can work alongside trophy hunting. This is a gross fabrication. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• If poaching/hunting continues, the African elephant could be extinct by 2020 (WildAid, 2014).

📷@cinergizerbunny #dswtfostermom ・・・ Elephant orphans at the Ithumba Camp Reintegration Unit. The next step in the orphans journey back to the wild. Most of these young elephants are victims of the brutal poaching epidemic sweeping across Africa. 99 elephants are killed every day for their Ivory tusks, over 30,000 a year. We must stop the demand for Ivory and Ban the trade.
