Take down the tusk photo from the hunting website.

The Issue

We may never be able to stop trophy hunting, although it is a goal of all those concerned with wildlife preservation and compassion, but this Pierré van Tonder Big Game Safari's home page is simply evil.

In a world where we are loosing elephants at a rate of 100 a day and less than 400,000 remain wild, this site promotes elephant hunting by displaying tusks on the home page. Some tusks are still bloody from recent removal.

Despite the disgusting display, this is a slap in the face to countries who have recently banned importing ivory and shows complete lack of respect for an animal desperately trying to hold on.

Mr. van Tonder clearly has no regard for anything except monetary gain from the demise of animals but what will he hunt when his company has wiped out entire species?
