Another blow to the despicable trophy hunting industry, and I'm here for it! Italian Airline, ITA Airways has announced its support for HSI's (Humane Society International) #NotInMyWorld campaign aimed at targeting the trophy hunting industry. The Airline announced a new campaign that will prohibit the transportation of hunting trophies on their airline which includes both checked baggage and on flight carry-ons. This campaign aims to discourage participation in the abhorrent trophy hunting industry by making it impossible to bring hunting trophies back home.
As we all know, trophy hunting is often marketed as aiding in conservation by funneling funds in to local communities and conservation efforts. Unfortunately, statistics show that imperiled species like the African Elephant, and all varieties of rhino, continue to plunge towards extinction. The only people who benefit from trophy hunting are the tour organizers, those tied to the industry, and wealthy western folk who get their kicks out of stalking and shooting, unsuspecting wild animals. These hunts disrupt families, tear apart social structures, and end the lives of animals that face unprecedented perils to their survival. Trophy hunting is disgusting. There is honestly, not a single redeemable trait of this industry, and it demonstrates humanity's salacious need to do with animals as we please, despite warning signs telling us that this is so very wrong. Watching wealthy, often white people, standing proudly in front of an endangered elephant or giraffe they happily shot and killed is haunting to say the least. The complete lack of empathy or understanding of the perils these animals face every day to their survival is entitlement to the highest degree. Congratulations to ITA Airways for taking a stand for Africa's wildlife and sending a clear message that trophy hunting is wrong.
