The article is more than enough for me to see. I cannot look at the pictures and read it. Honestly, I did scroll through it — but I was unable to look at it long enough to read it. I signed the petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/929/929/857/?z00m=20677266

I had no intention of writing today, but coming upon this story and the petition that accompanied it, changed that in a heartbeat.

The article page has many photos of hunters next to animals that are folded onto the ground… its so sick. There is one on the petition page as well. I signed the petition — it is work that is ongoing to make trophy hunting illegal.
That is sad–I think it’s totally sad when we hunt animals for anything other than needed food.
