Perhaps you've heard that the Trump administration has lifted the ban on the importation of ivory into the USA. Also trophy body parts of endangered species from trophy hunters. This makes me so sad and mad. It's like Trump is waging all-out war against nature. After all the progress we've made saving animals we're now going backwards. This is beyond disgusting. I want to scream.Sorry, but I had to vent.

Thank goodness for this! I try not to watch any news more than once a day to keep from getting depressed. It's great to hear good news here on MyLot. Thanks. I'm praying for the animals.
