Argali sheep are critically endangered which in turn makes them especially sought after by trophy hunters. The more rare an animal the more a trophy hunter wants to be known to having killed it. The son of the President of the United States is one of those kind of people.
Donald Trump Jr, who claims to hate nepotism, also met one-on-one with the president of Mongolia, in addition to other special treatment.
The son of the President of the United States trophy hunts and then uses his influence AS THE SON of the President of the United States to get AFTER THE FACT "permission."
That is corruption.
The rocky highlands of Central Asia, in a remote region of Western Mongolia, are home to a plummeting population of the largest sheep in the world, the argali. The endangered species is beloved for its giant curving horns, which can run over 6 feet in length. On a hunting trip this August, Donald Trump Jr. shot and killed one. His adventure was supported by government resources from both the U.S. and Mongolia, which each sent security services to accompany the president's eldest son and grandson on the multi day trip. It also thrust Trump Jr. directly into the controversial world of Mongolian trophy hunting—a polarizing practice in a country that views the big-horned rams as a national treasure. The right to kill an argali is controlled by an opaque permitting system that experts say is mostly based on money, connections, and politics.
The Mongolian government granted Trump Jr. a coveted and rare permit to slay the animal retroactively on September 2, after he'd left the region following his trip. It's unusual for permits to be issued after a hunter's stay. It was one of only three permits to be issued in that hunting region, local records show. Afterward, Trump Jr. met privately with the country's president, Khaltmaagiin Battulga, before departing the capital of Ulaanbaatar back to the U.S., according to Khuantai Khafezyn, a local government official in the region where Trump Jr. hunted the argali and a former government official with knowledge of the meeting. It isn't clear what was discussed. Trump Jr. wouldn't answer questions about the meeting. Representatives for Battulga haven't responded to requests for comment.
