*[Enwl-eng] Save elephants from being murdered for trophies!

[ENWL]

            Trump has put elephants and lions back on the kill list. Urge 
the U.S. Congress to uphold the ban on trophy hunt imports!

                 Vladimir,

                  Near the turn of the 20th century, Africa was home to 
approximately four million elephants. Now fewer than 500,000 remain. 
Africa's lions have seen similar declines, with populations plummeting by 42 
percent in just the last 20 years. To save these iconic animals from 
extinction, the Obama administration banned the importation of some elephant 
trophies and made importing lion pelts and other trophies more difficult. 
But now Donald Trump has reversed this policy, allowing lion trophies to be 
imported into the country once again.

                  This isn't the least bit surprising. President Trump's 
sons have boasted publicly of killing rare animals in Africa, and on top of 
that, Trump hates all things Obama. In September 2019, his administration 
approved the first importation of a lion trophy since 2016, when lions 
became protected under the Endangered Species Act. He's also said that the 
Fish and Wildlife Service will now allow trophy imports of dead elephants 
and lions on a "case-by-case" basis. This essentially removes the ban, and 
will inevitably increase elephant poaching. We need Congress to introduce 
legislation to reverse this dangerous decision. Will you join the more than 
500,000 signers who are demanding that Congress reinstate a total ban on all 
trophy hunting imports?

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.

                  P.S. Trump's decision to allow trophy hunt imports on a 
"case by case basis" is practically a thumbs-up approving trophy hunting. 
Please speak out for the elephants and say "no" to new trophy hunt imports!
