Of course he is. Clearly, we can see why.

Wow. If it's evil, Trump seems to automatically back it.

The National Rifle Association’s lobbying arm praised the elephant trophy decision.

Of course they did.

 

[Moonglow]

Cause nothing says rich like large animal game hunting trophies...

 

[Care4all]

what a terrible decision....SAD

Typical of the GOP.

Look at what they want to do to the Middle Class.

 

[TomParks]

Excellent decision by President Donald Trump. The NRA is a great organization

 

[OffensivelyOpenMinded]

Fine with me.

As usual the hysterical leftists cry babies only report a portion of the facts.

FWS currently allows elephant heads that were killed in LEGAL HUNTS to be imported from every other African country- this simply adds Zimbabwe and Zambia back on the list.

Sorry LWNJ's. You're a bunch of cry babies. Tissue?

hey its dean and his mini followers.....

Here is the criteria -

Whether or not a trophy can be imported into the U.S. depends on the conservation status of the country’s elephants. For trophies from CITES Appendix I elephants (populations in danger of extinction, such as in Tanzania and Zambia), FWS must issue a CITES import permit and “make the additional finding that the import is not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild.” (Although there are now limitations on trophy imports, there are no limitations on hunting elephants).

Elephants in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa fall under Appendix II, meaning that those populations are not currently considered in danger of extinction. For Appendix II elephant trophies, only a CITES export permit is required. Controversy Swirls Around the Recent U.S. Suspension of Sport-Hunted Elephant Trophies​

Personally, I don't like the idea of killing these majestic, beautiful creatures for sport. I don't like abortion either......

[Confounding]

Well his son is a big game hunter after all. Fucking scumbags.

Trump admin. to reverse ban on elephant trophies from Africa

The Trump administration plans to allow hunters to import trophies of elephants they killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the United States, reversing a ban put in place by the Obama administration in 2014, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official confirmed to ABC News today.

 

[DarkFury]

Trump imports dead animals.
Obama imports live terrorists.
Guess which bothers me?

 

[Political Junky]

More disgusting action from Trump.

 

[TheDude]

If that's dickhead Trump Jr. he lost me. Fuck that fucker.

 

[westwall]

The sad reality is the only places that have healthy elephant populations are those that allow hunts. Eco hunters don't pay even one tenth what a real hunter will pay for an elephant. In the long run it helps far more elephants than it harms.

I get your point, but in my mind the only thing better than a dog is an elephant
