If endangered African lions are listed as Endangered Throughout its Range under the Endangered Species Act, US importation of African lions and their parts would be banned. The United States is the world’s largest importer of commercially traded endangered African lion parts and lion trophies. This trend is only increasing.
Take a Stand for Endangered African Lions by Monday, January 28.
- Sign the IFAW petition.
- Share the graphics with your friends.
Signed! Thanks for letting me know about this cause. Killing lions to collect trophy’s is ludicrous.
Thank you, Amy. Now it’s my turn. I wrote the post and forgot to do the most important thing!
Signed and shared! We can’t keep ignoring things like this. It terrifies me that so many animals may disappear in my lifetime.
Me too Kristine. I am worried I will live to see the decimation of Rhinos, Elephants and Orangutans.
I had no idea. If someone had asked me to guess who was the largest importer I would have guessed China without a second thought. I am absolutely shocked. WTH are we using lion parts for???? Ugh! Going to sign the petition now. Will share as well. Thanks for the heads up Kim.
