The GOVERNMENTS in Africa asked him to do this. Not because he wants dead elephants.

The photos of Trump’s sons hunting leopards and elephants aren’t helping matters. I wish he would have stayed out of this one for now.

I am not going to take a stand either way but it won’t help Trump politically. I don’t care much for the timing of it.

Do people not understand the term “management?” It applies to everything in the environment-water, animals, all other resources-to keep things balanced so no species goes extinct for lack of resources like food. There are seasons on game animals-even on wolves in Alaska-because wildlife has to be managed even there.

I was raised on a ranch-all livestock and game is managed to kep it thriving-livestock animals that don’t breed well or at all are not kept and fed as pets-they are culled from herds and end up on your table, or are sold to provide meat for someone else’s-that includes chickens, turkeys, etc-deer, elk, moose herds are culled, bears are hunted-it is called “hunting season” and it is wildlife management and is necessary for animals in a herd to be healthy and thrive-but I suppose that makes too much sense for people like Chelsea Clinton-who has never had to even manage a litter of puppies, much less livestock or game-to understand-so why doesn’t she adopt a few elephants and keep them on the lawn of her home?...

Then the President should have rejected their request.

I’m a conservative, but I’m also someone who loves wildlife and this action by our government is very troubling to me.

And I don’t buy this argument that allowing them to be hunted without restriction makes them safer.

Why can’t we ever have a Republican president, who wants to preserve our national treasures in nature?

Why is it always liberal Democrats that seem to care about these issues is the most?
