Just a few hours ago, we were devastated to learn that President Trump decided to lift the ban on importing elephant hunting trophies into the United States. Without going into detail, we're certain you can imagine the lethal consequences of this ill-conceived action.

But we will not let it happen without a fight. Together we have worked so hard to help elephants in so many ways; and your signatures on petitions have brought about lasting change in the past. With that in mind, we have drafted another petition with the confidence that if we raise our voices together we can prevent this protective ban from being demolished. Let's be relentless. It starts with signing this petition and spreading the word: goo.gl/sAikEj

American President Trump's decision to lift the ban on importing elephant hunting trophies into the #UnitedStates came as a shock to all of us. It’s an insult to everyone working to protect and conserve #elephants, in particular in light of this supposed reasoning behind the decision — that hunting of these animals “will enhance the survival of the species in the wild.” The argument is cynical and senseless on its face.
