Ban Big Game Trophies

The Issue

Sometimes fewer words are better, so I'm keeping this simple. In light of all of the recent much needed attention brought about by the killing of Cecil, it's time to ban the import and export of Big Game (Lion, Elephants, Cheetah, Leopard, Giraffe and Rhino) Trophies in the United States. Australia took steps by banning Lion Trophies and parts earlier this year, let's follow in their footsteps. When the demand stops, and U.S. Customs stops "clearing" these items, the killing will stop. This includes not only the hides and heads, but anything made of one of the parts of the magnificent beings.
