African #elephants now Critically Endangered on IUCN Red List – March 25. African treasures are disappearing. Selling hundreds of 🐘🐘to trophy hunters is an unforgivable crime.

Around 90% of #African #elephants have been killed in the past century.
20,000🐘🐘 killed each year for ivory. We urge Zimbabwe Botswana & Namibia Govts to halt plans to permit hunting of their elephants.

#American trophy hunters pay big #money to kill animals overseas and import over 126,000 wildlife trophies per year on average. The US Govt must ban the import of trophy hunting body parts.

Trophy hunting doesn’t benefit wildlife conservation. Less than 3% of money goes into community or into conservation programs. Mostly income goes to Govt agencies, outfitters & individuals located in Nat. capitals & tourism ind in US.

Trophy hunting doesn’t benefit the local #economy to any significant degree.
Total economic contribution from their hunting-related & non-hunting related tourism is about 0.03% of GDP (2017).

Organised hunting of endangered #wildlife including elephants, lions & rhinos, mostly benefits wealthy white landowners whilst exploiting black workers, paying them “pitiful” wages.

Trophy hunters not only cause injury & suffering to the animals, also destroy their families & habitats, leaving the babies to starve to death. Animals cannot defend themselves from bullets, traps & other killing devices.

Elephant habitats have been fragmented & destroyed as humans have encroached upon their habitat eg building roads, mines and plantations through their lands. This destruction has led to increasing human elephant conflict. #bantrophyhunting @moefcc @edmnangagwa @hagegeingob pic.twitter.com/Uj4m5yZI4K

Canned lion hunting is when lions are bred specifically to be shot and stuffed. They cannot escape and are a guaranteed kill. US has numerous venues with exotic animals that offer canned hunting packages. #bantrophyhunting @RepGregoryMeeks @POTUS

A study found a live elephant may be worth as much as $1.6m over its lifetime through income from photographic tourism – many times the fee typically paid by a trophy hunter to shoot an elephant. #bantrophyhunting @BornFreeFDN @USDA_APHIS pic.twitter.com/DsqlTmOPRR

Glamorizing the killing an elephant for entertainment & displaying part of its body parts is grotesque. Also animals can be chased for long periods of time, separated from family, wounded and face much pain & suffering. #bantropyhunting @NRA @BorisJohnson @HouseForeign@NRDems pic.twitter.com/Lq9RepeUsF
