Oppose the Airline Ban on Transport of Legally Harvested Animals

Shareholders demand that the ban stands. The problem today is that those who call themselves "hunters" are not. They are using ever more sophisticated factory made, lab tested weaponry to simply slaughter animals by taking shots they pay "professionals" to line up. They are lined up by feeding stations and bait stations more often than not. As we saw in the case of the lion named Cecil very recently, they attempt to bribe their way through illegal slaughters. If it is discovered that the dead body parts of the next "Cecil" are onboard, it will destroy shareholder value completely. The stock will do a SeaWorld sized "tank." Since only a tiny percentage of all homo sapiens are addicted to torturing and killing, and engage in those acts repeatedly, losing their business will be far less costly than losing the business of the majority and having your stock tank. Besides, those dead body parts are going to be leaping off walls here shortly as fewer and fewer are going to be willing to be identified as belonging to that small group of humanoid creatures who kill for pleasure.

Airlines with this ban will not see a cent of my money or my business' money.

Please do not ban the flight transportation of legally harvested animals.

This rule is stupid

I not only oppose the ban but will be sure that any airline that supports it will no longer see a dollar from me or my family!

I support the ban 100% It's a very well considered decision based on sound science and sustainable ethics. CITES is just an agreement between countries. A very flawed agreement that allows countries at the equator to decide on trade in Polar Bears. It is not a conservation organisation. It is such a useless and toothless agreement that countries are beginning to veer away from it to consider their own laws to enforce protection of wildlife. As recently undertaken by Australia, who have banned the import of Lion Trophies. Keep The Ban!

We have too many people in our World today trying to control things that they know absolutely nothing about to start with.... What a shame.

another reason to fly southwest

I'm proud that I no longer hold stock in Delta and American.

Stop the knee-jerk reactions. All you are doing is feeding the social media sheep that are taking over our country! What ever happened to common sense and logic?

This is knee-jerk PC through and through.

This is putting a hardship on legally hunted animals which is not right.

I find it insulting and ridiculous that an air line or any business for that matter ,to refuse to transport a legally properly packaged animal for a hunter to enjoy as table fair as most humans enjoy beef, chicken and so on. Liberal garbage.

Please reconsider your stance on shipping hunting trophies on legal taken animals

Lunatic Fringe!

I totally oppose any ban on the transport of "legally" harvested animals.

This is very shortsighted

Petition for Airline Ban on Animal trophies

Your ban does not stop poaching or illegal trade. It only affects legal trade that funds conservation efforts. You are a responsible party to gutting the funding for those efforts. You don't have to like hunting. But it is legal commerce and you cannot discriminate against it. I fly your airline for more than just hunting travel. But I will now look for alternatives, even if it costs me more.

I don't see why hunters should have the right to kill eveything for fun into extinction, and than be allowed to bring their trophees home. If hunting was so sustainable wildlife numbers would be going up instead of going rapidly down.
