Lions updated: Our Voices were heard! Petitions work! Please sign this one as UPS still refuses to stop shipping trophy body parts of our Wildlife. Some are Endangered, other species are very frail. We can stop the Ivory Trade, lets stop this NOW!!!

Breaking News! IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare)

Over the past three decades, the African lion population has declined by nearly 60 percent, with possibly less than 20,000 lions remaining in the wild.

The U.S. alone is responsible for importing over half of the hundreds of lion trophies brought home by trophy hunters globally each year.

Since March of 2011 IFAW, along with the Humane Society International and Born Free, has led a campaign to list lions, the only big cat not protected, under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

The hundreds of thousands of comments to the U.S. Administration from caring supporters, were critical to this landmark decision for lions.

PETITIONS WORK ARE VOICES WERE HEARD.  NOW LETS MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD, TO UPS AND STOP THE SHIPPING OF WILD ANIMAL TROPHIES!

MAHALO

Update: Lions in central and western Africa will now be listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act, while lions in southern and eastern Africa will be classified as threatened—meaning that the importation of the heads, tails, and skins of lions like Cecil will be prohibited, except under limited circumstances! But UPS refuses to ban the shipment of parts from other wild animals. Since the international outrage sparked by the cold-hearted killing of Cecil, Zimbabwe's most beloved lion, more than 40 airlines have banned the transport of wildlife trophies. However, UPS refuses to join the ban and continues to perpetuate the hunting of exotic animals—even in the wake the recent slaughter of Zimbabwe's largest elephant. Join us in telling UPS that supporting trophy hunts is unacceptable! Elephants are extremely intelligent, self-aware animals with long memories. They suffer and grieve when their families are torn apart, just as humans do. Similarly, when Cecil was killed, beheaded, and skinned, his family of cubs was left fatherless and vulnerable. Trophy hunter and Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer smiles over the corpse of an animal, who, like Cecil, only wanted to be left in peace. Earlier this year, UPS banned the transport of shark fins, and it has also banned the shipment of live animals as well as ivory and ivory products, so we know that the company can and will act when it feels it is important. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION  AND TELL UPS TO STOP SHIPPING ANIMAL PARTS FOR TROPHY HUNTERS!!!!!!!   If you haven't already, please tell UPS to ban the shipment of all hunting trophies! Thank you for speaking up for animals.  PETA
