Stop The Legal Killing of Wildlife Animals

Stop The Legal Killing of Wildlife Animals
Why this petition matters
Our goal is to stop trophy hunting. Trophy hunting is the shooting of carefully selected animals – frequently big game such as rhinos, elephants, lions, pumas and bears – under official government licence, for pleasure. The trophy is the animal (or its head, skin or any other body part) that the hunter keeps as a souvenir. Wild animals experience pain and pleasure just the same as dogs and cats who share our homes, and who enjoy far more expensive legal protections. Wild animals also play a key role in our environment and ecosystem. Trophy hunting will endanger species that are targeted by hunters. Hunting is not a sport, it's cruelty.
