Trump - Bad News for Animals

I have tried to stay out of politics involving the United States because I think the media is doing a fine enough job dragging President Trump through the mud on a daily basis. He's pompous, full of himself, and frankly, out of touch with reality. Amongst all of his awful traits is his lack of  empathy for animals. Since taking office, he has worked against animals and animal welfare groups making it well known that animals and their rights are not on his to do list.

Most recently, President Trump has put into motion lifting a ban on importing Elephant trophies from two countries in Africa. This is especially unnerving considering the fact that elephants are in fact endangered and the entire world has taken note. When you consider that China is moving forward with a full ban on ivory import by the end of the year, it's obvious that even the countries who notably had the biggest ivory problems are stepping up and working towards ending the ivory trade altogether. President Trump is literally working against the efforts of the world to save elephants. This is quite unsurprising considering his own sons and members of his congress are hunters, but what's surprising is that he disregards the efforts of the world to allow such trivial things like trophies to be brought into the country. It's an absolute disgrace!

President Trump is literally on track to literally reverse every positive bill that's been enacted to save the environment and animals alike. In my opinion, he's incredibly selfish and cares only for his own needs and those close to him without considering the implications his actions will have.

He's pulled out of the climate agreement, allowed elephant trophies, and deleted animal abuse records which make it easier for puppy mills, farm abuse, and other cruel situations to become much more unnoticed. 

President Trump is making it abundantly clear that he has absolutely no empathy towards human or animal rights. He's literally making the United States look worse and worse by the day and it's saddening especially considering the animals who will suffer the most under him. Elephants are the some of the most gentle, inquisitive, intelligent animals walking the earth. Why the hell anyone would get pleasure out of slaughtering an elephant is beyond me but with this reversal, we will unfortunately see more elephants slaughtered and ivory finding its way back into the U.S. all thanks to President Trump.

                            What can be done?

Contact his office and let them know how disgusting and despicable his attitude is towards animals. Let him know you completely disagree with the elephant trophies!

You can also find him on Twitter likely yapping off about something or another so shoot him a message there and politely remind him how important elephants are and how stupid his decision is!
