Stop trophy hunting in South Africa

Save animals from extiction

African animals are being driven towards extinction by American hunters determined to bag trophies, wildlife organisations have warned.  The lions, already threatened by conflict with farmers over land and by shrinking habitats, are being driven to the brink by the increasing demand from the U.S. for personal trophies, such as lion skins, and a growing trade in animal parts.  lions, tigers and other big cats — are fading from the world's wild places, warn conservation experts worldwide.Wild lions, tigers and other big cats may face a slide toward extinction within two decades, say conservation scientists, who are urging increased efforts to save them.
