Delta airlines, first US carrier to ban transport of African big game

[Yota]

Apparently Delta has been getting an earful and caved in.

The US airline Delta has banned the shipment of big game trophies on its flights following the international outcry over the illegal killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe.
The airline has announced that it will no longer transport lion, rhinoceros, leopard, elephant or buffalo remains.

It has not however given an official reason for its decision.

Delta flies direct to a number of African cities and was subjected to an online petition to ban such shipments.
