There are plenty of facts and evidence showing us that such ban goes (at the end) against conservationism and wildlife. Reverse the ban. Think before taking "cheap populist" decisions.

Join hunters in their continued efforts in protecting wildlife and wildlife habitat by removing this ban.

This move you airlines did goes completely against the grain of American Capitalism. If something is illegal? Yes. Otherwise you are just prejudiced and racist against hunters

Yet another decision made in H.R.somewhere,by people who know nothing about the importance of of hunting and conservation.Pure political correctness at it's worst.

Legal, regulated hunting has proven to be a very effective tool in the conservation of wildlife and the places they inhabit. Your decision to ban the transport of legally obtained trophies will have a negative effect on conservation, especially in Africa.

Hunter's dollars through trophy fees raises money for the goverment to stop poaching all over Africa. Without trophy fees, the government can't afford to police poaching. Poaching one of the biggest threats to the animals named on the airlines list.

Hunters' dollars are the number one contributing factor to conservation in Africa today. Banning the legally harvested trophies from quotas set by scientist on the ground in the local areas where hunting is sanctioned, is simply misguided. We need to let science and fact set the agenda, not emotion.

Refusal to transport legally hunted animals does nothing to stop poaching, and in fact, it impedes effective wildlife conservation.

Please start transporting our legally harvested animals again.

You want to ban legally harvested animal products from your flights? I guess that means all your overpriced flight food will be vegetarian from now on!

The general public is free to not use businesses that make uninformed decisions.

I do not understand why we are allowing the voices of a few people lashing out from behind their keyboard to create such knee jerk reaction policies. When emotion takes over science we are in trouble. Please revisit your policy and line it up with CITES and not emotion.

why don't you (the airlines) stop the transport of people who kill people... i.e. military personnel......?!! What you are doing is wrong and ignorant - these trophies bring a lot of income to wildlife departments, communities, and stop poaching ...

There is no reason that I should be singled out as a hunter. By the same reasoning you should not be allowed to eat beef. What did that poor cow ever do to you?

The ban is uncalled for.

CITES is against this. It will only reduce funding created by legal hunting, and thus endanger the survival of more species. Also, you do not own the airspace you fly through, the areas you land in, and the facilities you use. You therefore, have a public duty to fly any legal and non hazardous cargo.
