#Be Kind To Elephants

In 2014, President Obama enforced a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ban of the shipment of elephant trophies from game hunters into the U.S. from Zimbabwe and Zambia. On Nov. 15, 2017 Mr. Donald Trump lifted that ban. Why? Most likely because his elder sons are the type of people who take great pleasure in killing majestic animals, even endangered ones. As the two African countries are claiming that allowing the hunting of these endangered species is regulated to 500 elephants a year in Zimbabwe alone and that it will benefit the revenue of protecting these animals, the corruption within these countries is prevalent and will only see the amount of poaching cases on the rise. Not to mention, in extreme cases that are known to occur, conservationists will also be shot. So.. who does the lifting of this ban really benefit?.. The filthy rich that take pleasure in this horrific and sociopathic sport.

After the illegal killing of Cecil the Lion in 2015, Delta, United, and American Airlines banned the transporting of elephants, buffalo, leopards, lions, and rhinos trophies from Africa, but with this ban lift by Trump's administration, which acts as though he is above the constitution, let's see if these airline bans will hold.

So... what can we do? Below are some petitions that will fight for these amazing and majestic animals that happen to be on the Endangered Species List which Trump obviously cares nothing about.

::CLICK HERE:: to sign an Avaaz.org petition that will help urge shut down the largest Ivory Markets in the world. Seems like a "long shot," but it can work!!

::CLICK HERE:: to sign the petition to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and conservation that will help stop the lifted ban of transporting elephant trophy heads back to the U.S.

::CLICK HERE:: to sign the Humane Society of the United States Petition.

Also, as tweeted by Ellen DeGeneres, "Please retweet & use #BeKindToElephants." For everyone who does, she will make a donation to The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which protects and preserves endangered African species, such as the Elephant and Black Rhino.

Thank you for taking the time and for caring. Eventhough this past year has been utterly heart breaking with all accounts from the attacks that Trump has inflicted on the environment, humanity, endangered species, democracy, the constitution, etc.. there are still many of us who care and believe that fighting the good fight is worth it, because it is worth it! We must #Resist, #StayInformed, and #Fight!

Paris Climate Agreement

I haven't posted since Mr. Trump became this country's "President" because it has taken a while to allow it to sink in that a corrupt businessman/tyrant has become the President of the USA. Even though I knew that it was inevitable that once he took his position in the Oval Office, he and his pro-fossil fuel businessmen administration were going to attempt to undo many positive environmental and humanitarian causes that this country has been working hard to fight for, the effect of the reality that it has happened so quickly jolted millions of people around the world into a state of shock. After the initial shock subsided, the fight for our Mother Earth and for future generations became more clear and urgent than ever! The only benefit that will result from Trump's thoughtless act will be that it will unite and ignite more environmentally aware government officials around the world to step up and make a stand against the greedy and corrupt businessman who is proving to be the worst President in America's history, and further the fight for future generations and the planet's well being.

Below I have posted Leonardo Dicaprio's message concerning Trump's decision to back out of the Paris Climate Agreement, which inspires like minded people to find ways to resist this tyrannical move against the environment and humanity by acting locally and staying informed.

"Today, the future livability of our planet was threatened by Trump's careless decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. Our future on this planet is now more at risk than ever before. For Americans and those in the world community looking for strong leadership on climate issues, this action is deeply discouraging. Now, more than ever, we must be determined to solve climate change, and the challenge those leaders who do not believe in scientific facts or empirical truths. It is time for all of us to stand up, organize, fight back, and channel our energy into grassroots political action."
