Trump Just Made It Legal to Bring Back the Heads of Slaughtered Lions
Source: MotherJones
The federal government has issued more than three dozen permits allowing hunters to import lion trophies from two African nations since 2016, according to copies of the applications obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The documents, obtained by the group Friends of Animals, provide insight into the often secretive permitting process to import threatened or endangered species killed abroad during luxury hunting trips. Thirty-three Americans were issued permits to import 38 lion trophies between 2016 and 2018, at least half of whom have donated to Republican lawmakers or are affiliated with the hunting lobby Safari Club International.
Its unclear how many permit applications are currently before the agency or how many were issued in past years. In a statement, the Fish and Wildlife Service said that all permit applications are carefully reviewed and granted only if they meet several legal standards in accordance with international treaties and other requirements of the country in which the animal was hunted.

Their colors, sickly, bilious yellowish greens, are flying as they drool at the thought of the blood of innocents they hope to spill.

(23,003 posts)I wonder at times if he's the anti-Christ? I don't believe in the fundamentalist Baptist crap pushed on me growing up, but from what I remember, he could fit that bill. I do know for sure he's a big source of the evil devouring our country and will make it far far worse if we don't take at least one branch of Congress during the mid-terms.
My heart bleeds for these majestic animals and sickens at the thought of this asshole selfish traitor and destroyer of life.
