U.S. trophy hunters slaughtered two critically endangered black rhinos named Lippie and Willem, ages 28 and 31, in Namibia.
Now the rhino-killers are asking the U.S. government for permits to import their body parts or products into the United States.
No endangered species should be killed or imported for thrills or decor.
As a major endpoint for hunting trophies from all over the world, the United States should lead in stamping out this practice.
Join us in urging the USFWS to deny the permits to import trophies made from Lippie and Willem's remains to the U.S.
