Bad news for the trump twins

You should probably expect Damo to respond to your post and to point out how your attempt to equate the poachers with Trump, was a bad analogy.

No. It's a great analogy. the trump twins pay hundreds of thousands to murder elephants that are trapped in pens. Sure..it's legal, but the China deal is the first step toward ending the murder of all elephants.

Outlawing the ivory trade, can our guns be next??

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Who's against executing murderers? Oh, I see. You're bloviating again, assuming that because some people are against it therefore *all* liberals feel the same.

Carry on. We expect no less of our retarded RWNJ kinfolk.

You're not a liberal, you're a fascist.

Virtually the only thing Trump has done that was morally and politically correct, in my opinion, was his order to postpone lifting the elephant trophy hunting ban.

My only concern was that that he could easily reverse this decision in the future if Trump's elephant-killing sons, or other elephant-killers in his administration convince the easily manipulated Trump that gun-toting Americans have a God given right to waste elephants in a hailstorm of lead.

Trump Halted These Hunt Trophies.

WASHINGTON — Maybe it was the memory of a long-ago childhood visit to the zoo. Maybe it was a sense of loyalty to the symbol of his political party.
But President Trump’s surprise intervention to try to save the elephants of Zimbabwe has drawn praise from across the political spectrum — and the question of why he did it has now become the, well, pachyderm in the room.

In what may be one of the most curious moments of his first year in office, Mr. Trump put a sudden halt to a new federal government ruling that would have allowed hunters to bring “trophy” elephants killed in Zimbabwe into the United States, calling big-game hunting a “horror show” that he did not believe helped conservation.

“There’s a lot of shock that this president and this administration would roll back a decision on trophy hunting like this,” said Tanya Sanerib, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, which fights to protect species threatened with extinction. “But there’s something about elephants that just crosses party lines. They get to people.”

Aides said it was no more complicated than that. The president likes elephants, they said. He did not know about his administration’s decision to lift the trophy ban until learning it from the news media and was annoyed to be criticized for a move he had no part in. So he made his displeasure known in the way he has so many other times this year, through his Twitter feed.

So now those who think that sometimes the death penalty is warranted are fascists? lol

If you believe that then you'll believe anything. In fact the ivory trade has just moved to places like Saigon and Phnom Penh.

Have a guess who is controlling that trade?

The biggest market for ivory goods and the country where the most and biggest ivory goods production factories were located, is China.

No matter what they may still be doing in other, smaller countries, by taking away the Chinese market, they have put a major crimp in the overall market for elephant tusks.

This should translate into a significant reduction in elephant poaching.

A rare case of trump taking the temperature of the country and reversing an idiotic decision.
His kneejerk reaction to everything is typically "if Obama created it, he must destroy it".

If only Obama wasn't busy desperately trying to protect the nation after the election, he could have rammed through hundreds of regulations that would be detrimental to the environment/the economy, giving the orange idiot sand castles to stomp.

He has far too much class and integrity to do that. Unlike the buffoon we have now.
