Put pressure on the Mandalay Bay Hotel And Convention Centre contact info groupleads@mandalaybay.com on the Las Vegas strip not to host the trophy hunters auction . Make them regret it and put off other hotels in the future from hosting these events This is taken out of the Independant Uk . The hunting jamboree, at which delegates will bid for the right to take part in 301 hunts that will eventually kill about 600 animals in 32 countries, is organised by Safari Club International (SCI), whose members include the notorious killer of Cecil the lion.

The auction features an array of items including a white gold leopard broach – starting price $39,000 (£27,500) – and bullet gift certificates. But the centrepiece of the event is unquestionably the auction of packages to hunt – and in some cases stuff – big game. Lots range from Iberian red deer and Pyrenean chamois to Australian water buffalo and African elephants. The description of the 10-day Alaska Brown Bear and Black Bear hunt, which has a starting price of $75,150, reads: “This all-inclusive hunt is an outstanding option for hunters who want an all-in-one luxury hunting experience…in amazing areas boasting the highest density of bears in the world.” 5-walter-palmer2.jpg US dentist Walter Palmer, who shot Cecil the lion, with another of his trophies It adds: “Method of take is hunters’ choice.” The Ultimate Hunters’ Market has been condemned by animal rights activists, amid a renewed focus on the ethics of big game hunting after SCI member and US dentist Walter Palmer killed Cecil in Zimbabwe last year. Wendy Higgins, of Humane Society International said: “The auction site reads like a grotesque killing-for-kicks catalogue, in which the lives of the precious wildlife are sold to the highest bidder so that they can be slaughtered for fun.

League Against Cruel Sports chief executive Eduardo Goncalves added: “It beggars belief that there are still people who are excited by the prospect of slaughtering an animal for target practice and turning it into a trophy.” The Safari Club International (SCI) is expected to raise more than $2.5 million from auctioning the mammal hunts alone, which have been provided from various hunt organisers. The club runs the convention annually and it provides the majority of its income – most of which is used to lobby Washington.

The Safari Club are reviled and disgraced and you have betrayed every compassionate person that has stayed in your hotel . For profit before compassion and social responsibility,public awareness and public opinion . People have commentated in droves on this petition that they have cancelled their stay and they will never return . People who work as professionals in the travel industry have declared they will never promote your hotel again . You have brought shame on a renowned and respected city . People are frankly flabbergasted . They cant believe what you have done . I'm stunned . You must realise how wrong this is and stop it immediately before the name of your hotel is completely and forever associated with trophy hunting . There's still time for your hotel to salvage its name and respect and I'm sure to admit fault and kick these people out will more than restore your battered reputation .
