Celebs React to Trump Lifting President Obama's Ban On Elephant Trophy Imports
The fact that Trump has lifted President Obama's ban on elephant trophies being imported into the country is a devastating blow to the survival of these beautiful animals. It's savage and pointless. It breaks my heart. pic.twitter.com/iclfxN6TXr

Trump is lifting President Obama's ban on elephant trophy imports from several countries in Africa. His sons are regular hunters and have posted several photos of them with "trophies" that they manfully killed for fun.

Compassion, social intelligence, decisiveness, patience, wisdom. These are all qualities found in elephants and not found in the people allowing them to be killed for trophies. #NotUs

Why would Trump do this? WHY?! This sentences defenseless, endangered animals to death. This surely guarantees poaching and the kinds of criminal activity that come with it, which destroys the lives of people as well, will explode again. This is inexcusable. https://t.co/kG2NPqiH9j
