Advocates4Earth as a Zimbabwe-registered non-profit, public interest environmental law, climate and wildlife justice organization has written a letter to the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) and the Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (US) raising concerns on Hunting trophy imports to the United States from Zimbabwe and the continued slaughters of lions by American trophy hunters
The letter arises given the United States government’s history with liaising with the Zimbabwe government on hunting trophy imports to the US from Zimbabwe and given the continued slaughters of lions by American trophy hunters. Trophy hunting of lions in Zimbabwe or any part of the World is unsustainable, unethical, lacks transparency, and violates the environmental rights of Zimbabwean citizens enshrined in Section 73 of our Constitution and potentially violates the spirit of the Parks and Wildlife Act.
Stop the importation of these horrific “trophies.”
I would like to draw attention to Mr Coltan Payne who also Illegally killed a Lion of 2 years of age in Zimbabwe. Hehas an application for a Trophy Permit. Please stop all applications for this person.
This is murder by no other name with malice aforethought. Only a cowardly heinus psychopath would commit such depraved activity. Where is the legislation to prevent this ? Who licences and enables this sick practice ? The Human Race needs cleansing.
Killing animals for sport is NO sport at all! It’s heinous abuse!
Please stop the death and destruction of our endangered animals. A gun vs. claws is no match.
Please stop the destruction and death of our endangered animals. A gun vs. a claw is no challange.
Please ban trophy hunters. To kill these magnificent creatures as a “trophy” is cruel and barbaric.
Our fish and wild life agencies are sell outs and have absolutely no care for any wild animal. This is proven by the way they get around obsticles in order to let trophy hunters obtain permits. The whole agency needs to be fired and replaced with personel that respect and protect our animal lives.
Disgusted that the American government allows this to happen. These animals and their lives are not yours to destroy.
All these animals are endangered and your trophy hunting always takes the strongest specimens thereby weakening the species genetically.
Please stop this evil sport.
Disgraceful, dispicable, non compassionate and greedy. That’s how I describe any trophy hunter.
It should be Against the Law in Every Country to allow Trophy Hunting of ANY Animal!!! These Despicable Hunters should find other ways to feed their egos!!! Why do Humans continue to Destroy this planet and Every Living Being, Flora and Fauna alike, on it?? Reprehensible, Unjustifiable and Totally Repugnant!!!
