Also …. because Trump has backed out of his plan to end the ban on importing elephant trophies into this country, we should write to applaud his decision, in order to reinforce this rare show of good sense. The decision is not final, and he should be encouraged to continue to uphold the ban. The Trump boys have been involved in big game hunting, including elephants; they would no doubt like Dad to let them bring home trophies, and we don’t want that to happen. Apart from the unedifying spectacle of adult men gloating over the death of intelligent animals, if we allow the import of legally-obtained trophies, it will greatly increase the illegal trafficking in such items. So thanks to the POTUS for keeping the ban:
