Three sub-species of giraffe are in serious decline or endangered-the West African Giraffe, Rothschild Giraffe, and the Reticulated Giraffe. Yet, tourist trophy hunters are paying $3800 to go and shoot giraffes with high powered rifles and bows. In South Africa, Nambia, and Zimbabwe killing them for sport trophy is legal.

   Since 1988, the number of giraffes has plummeted from 140,000 to less than 80,000. Giraffes are nearing extinction and have already disapeared completely from Nigeria,Mali, and Angola.

Please, tell the governments of Africa to protect this gentle, iconic animal of Africa before it is hunted to extinction as trophy sport. Please.
