🐘🦄. Yup. Libs are tearing their plugs out because Trump just declared open season on endangered animals all over the word. Yup, random wanton killing. There is NO definition of these Fidiots that is big enough.

This is becoming the regular pattern:

No laws were broken. But still, the Trump team is portrayed as guilty and barbaric and worthy of persecution/prosecution.

We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of powerful Progressives who want to stomp on any and all political opponents.

So we can’t trust African communists, but US communists (B Sanders) are OK.

Plus, we can’t trust these communists to distribute foreign aid, but we keep sending them money (or material they can sell).

Other than the fact that it was put in place by the Obama administration what crying need was there to end the ban?

Learn more about hunting in Africa straight from the people who do it:

Everything these animal rights activists tell you about hunting in Africa is a complete lie. Trophy fees benefit the villages, safaris put people to work, and countries that allow controlled hunting have the best game management. Poachers are also shot on site in these countries.

What is happening to elephants is outrageous and cruel. Killing them for souvenirs is just wrong.

The Trump administration has reversed a ban on the importing of trophies from elephants killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia, to outcry from wildlife organisations across the world. The move overturns the ban put in place by the Obama administration in 2014 and is a heavy blow to the international campaign to end the ivory trade, whose backers include Prince Harry and Prince William.

Gee, you'd think that Muslim stalking of Royal Princesses would be more concerning to Willy and Harry than legitimate hunters stalking Elephants, but they're mum about that.

How does it encourage poaching if the hunting is legal?

Didn’t know that US fish and wildlife ruled supreme over the rest of the world when it comes to hunting big game.

US fish and wildlife need to keep their own house in order, and stop worrying about the rest of the world.

It is sad that those animals have to depend on those nations for their protection!

Do not try and explain harvesting game and proper wildlife conservation to a liberal. It’s like casting pearls before swine.

So, does this mean I will be able to get real ivory grips for my Model 1911A1?
