Every Republican senator should mount a stuffed lion on the front of their podium, with the words “You wont save our babies, we ain’t saving your critters!” “FOAD”!

Right on!

The hypocritical turkeys are more concerned about a few animal trophies than thousands of murdered humans.

If the money goes out of big game hunting, the Africans will exterminate the lions. Who needs ‘em?

Will they run an onslaught of Sally Struthers commercials to make up for the economic toll they are putting on these countries?

Why am I not surprised Dick Blumenthal of CT is involved?

What a dumb proposal. I love big cats, but there is no sound public policy reason for banning the import of a legally-taken big game animal trophy (or any other animal trophy, for that matter).

Zimbabwe is saying....oh no...there goes our beer money.

Trophy unting in Africa is what gun running and drugs are to Mexico.

The MSM built up the “trophy lion” thing, to take peoples minds off the body parts.

Ain't it great to see the Dem-Socialists chasing the "big game" of issues? This is their trophy.
