Hunters ARE the key to wildlife's survival across the globe and your emotion based decision to ban trophy transportation only serves to hurt the animals and HELP the poachers!

Your share-holders will be much better served if you stick to safe flying and better, not worse customer service.

As a hunter ,and proud that I can supply my family and the family of others meat to eat and the only thing we want is to be able to send home a mount Your Company is actually denying us the ability to do so and as a paying customer do you not realize that as a group( Hunters) we can actually take more business away from you then you realize. Please reconsider if you want to stay in business.

An unintended consequence of this transportation ban will be a marked reduction in hunting safaris. Hunting safaris are the only real source of funding for anti-poaching efforts in Africa. When the safaris go away, poaching will skyrocket, and the animals will all be sold as bush meat and eaten or will be sold for parts, as happened in Kenya following their ban on hunting in 1974.

Hunting brings in more money than tourism for conservation !

As an ethical hunter and a frequent flyer, I strongly oppose this "knee jerk" reaction to those who do not support conservation, as do hunters and their organizations, but who would condemn those who do invest their dollars and time into improving the habitat and management of wildlife worldwide.

Senseless ban. A knee jerk reaction from the airlines.

Why try to fix something that's not broken? What reasonable excuse would one have to limit a law abiding citizen on doing something that has been perfectly legal all because a few who lack understanding disagrees with it? We have to get some stability and stop shifting anyway the wind blows. There's a whole of of stuff I don't like, but I understand the rest of the world may not share my view or opinion. I would be real simple minded and selfish if I wanted everyone else to agree with me and conform to my limited few and understanding. Let grow up people and stop trying to push our own agendas on everyone else...

As a semi-regular hunting destination traveler on domestic and international flights, I cannot imagine a clear conscience for an airline that bans the lawful and safe transport of legally harvested game animals. What's next? No fish allowed?

There are millions of air travellers who support the ban on transportation of trophy hunted animals and parts, please keep the ban in place, listen to the majority who asked you to make this decision, reversing it I believe Will loose you more fliers than the trophy hunters, regular people really do not want to fly with dead animals........!!!!
It would not behoove any airline to reverse this ban.

The "Antis" are very emotional and very loud. Many of them are "pseudo Intellectuals" who have bought into "the Disney crap" that Animals are people.
Animals are animals. Hunters do more for animals and conservation than anyone and always have done so. If a kill is legal it should be courteously accepted for airline transportation. Airlines should not buy into "the left wing screaming " that they all do. This isn't about who screams loudest . IT is about facts and "science based" management of wildlife which hunters respect in 99% of the cases. All barrels have a couple of bad apples. That is just normal percentages. The "antis" need a sense of reality which most lack. They are overboard idealists.
Most use "emotions" as their guidelines which is very sad.
They are very active ,but totally wrong.

We have been to Africa four times and spend large amounts of money on hunting that is only done by reputable outfitters and members of professional organizations that are recognized internationally and legally by their own governments. I will only patronize airlines that will do their due diligence and recognize that we have done nothing to contribute to illegal actions of any type.
