And here is a petition to FedEx. Seems your efforts are a drop in the bucket compared to people who actually fight FOR animals instead of killing them for kicks. Oh sorry, that's "sustainable use" and the animals are "harvested" like cabbages. https://community.sumofus.org/petitions/ban-fed-ex-from-transporting-animal-trophies-worldwide?bucket&source=facebook-share-button&time=1438734211

I did not mean to put my name on this and do NOT support the shipment of trophy harvests via airlines.... Consider my name not legal on this petition, Crystal Chapman

This is the kind of people that are travelling abroad in order to kill. Aaron Neilson, Ted Nugent and Walter Palmer along with their poaching convictions. It has to stop. http://www.scribd.com/doc/231847281/Poacher

These bans are a sign that at least a part of civilized society, is evolving, and have realised that murder for kicks is not only wrong, it is morally reprehensible. Well done to all airlines who have imposed this ban, and welcome to the airlines that will still impose this ban, as per the wish of THE MAJORITY OF YOUR PASSENGERS. Please do not be swayed by the rantings of a handful of killers, who are trying to preserve their blood thirsty thrill killing hobby> The planet, and its inhabitants are depending on you too! Thank you very much. Anton Louw

I love it. Maybe you can fly with FEDEX or UPS in the cargo area! Next to the canned lion trophies!

I oppose your ban. I will fly with airlines that do not have this unnecessary restriction.

Legal game and trophies are the one thing standing between extinction and conservation.

Without Legal Hunting these animals will be Lost forever to Poachers. The banning of transportation of Legally harvested animals will wipe them out!!!

I love it when the vampires from South Africa chime in. In South Africa they breed LIONS like cattle so fake sportsmen can say they dominated a wild lion in Africa! Then- the breeders/farmers/conservationists sell the lion bone to the chinese............What's even more amazing-- the South Africans say that they oppose wildlife trafficking! Bloodlions will be playing in the States next month. The canned hunters will be hiding

Steve- Safari Club International allows and they promote canned trophies of any and all wildlife species in their record books. "First for hunters." right!

These poor sport hunters! They are puzzled why no one likes them. You have no one to blame but yourselves. I hear quite a bit about "legal" "sustainable" sport hunting.....Just like the vintage Safari Club self centered narcissist Walt Palmer. Like most "sport" collectors- he has no use for laws or ethics, because- he is in a big race to a black tie awards dinner in Arizona where he will be recognized by other self centered narcissists for the biggest and most animals "harvested." Rhinos, elephants, leopards, lions are sentient creatures- they are not harvested. Turnips are harvested. This is only the beginning. We will expose you canned hunters for the frauds that you are.....Who shoots lions while they are mating? Sport hunters. Who shoots lions over bait from behind a blind with the use of spotlights? Sport hunters. Who shoots elephants while they are trying to get to their feet? Sport hunters! and, last but not least, who shoots semi tame hand reared lions bred specifically to be shot by fake hunters? Sport trophy collectors- that's who.

Legal, sustainable hunting is the only way that game in Africa has any chance of survival. A blanket ban on transportation of trophies is a knee jerk reaction.

There should be a total international ban on any shipment of trophy hunts indefinitely and permanently. The airlines that have taken steps to end this are on the right track and in the right side of history. Those who do not stop this barbaric trophy hunting will pay a heavy price in the near future. And finally to those trophy hunters with blood and the stain of extinction on their hands who still deny the rights of wildlife to exist and live in peace will be judged one day and that judgement will be sooner than they realise.
