Stop these Big Game Hunters : Cancel Safari Club International's Convention in February 2016
The Issue
Safari Club International promotes the hunting of elephants, lions, rhinos, i. e. big game. It gives out prizes and awards for the biggest animal killed by its members, as determined by the measurements of their horns, tusks, antlers, as well as overall size. It masquerades as a 'conservation' group. Walter Palmer, the dentist who killed a protected game park lion in Zimbabwe (Cecil), was a member of SCI (they kicked him out after this came to light). We request that Mandalay Bay cancel SCI's convention in February. At a time when these animals are under severe environmental stress, we would like to send a clear message that SCI's mission is unacceptable.
