WILDlife should not be slaughtered just for bragging rights.
Take action!
“ Trophy hunting does not ensure the survival of wild species, as hunters claim, but depletes them further, leaving already endangered species more vulnerable to the threats that drive extinction. Besides the loss of an individual animal, its removal can set off a cascade of destructive consequences for its family and social group, its gene pool, and the survival of future generations. Strong gene pools and disease resistance, as well as knowledge of ancient migration pathways and how to survive droughts, are all needed more than ever now, due to the impacts of climate change and habitat loss. ”
