Ask United Parcel Service (UPS) and FedEx To Stop Shipping Slaughtered Animal Remains

The Issue

In Africa and other parts of the world, elephants, rhinos, leopards, lions and other wildlife are being hunted and poached to such an extent that they face extinction. In 20 years, in major parts of the world, you will no longer be able to watch these beautiful animals roam free in their natural habitats. FedEx and UPS have failed to get on the band wagon with other companies such as Delta, Virgin, United, British Airways and Emirates and help raise a global ban on the transport of body parts of slaughtered animals by big game trophy hunters. Every global transport company has a moral obligation to stop the transportation of such remains and in so doing, help stop the senseless slaughter of our world's remaining wildlife. By continuing to transport, FedEx and UPS are continuing to condone such behavior. We cannot replace these animals once they are gone so please help to stop these senseless murders now. Please join with me in asking both FedEx and UPS to join with others in no longer transporting the remains of any wildlife poached illegally from any country. Thank you.
