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.

The US airline Delta has banned the shipment of <snip> or buffalo remains.

I guess the Demo Libtards will have to choose a different carrier...

Delta airlines uses ivory tray tables on the back of every seat.

I used them to Fly to Jberg in March. There were an awful lot of us 'Hunters" on that flight. Curious to see if they can fill those seats. its strange that they named the Big 5 of Africa. Hopefully this doesn't fuck me in getting my Gemsbok, Blesbuck, Wildebeest, and Nyala back. F*cking uneducated liberals.

Killing business for the sake of feeling like they are going to accomplish something. Now the shipping will go to other carriers along with that $$$. Nice move delta.

While I appreciate defense of the lions, leopards, elephants, and rhinos, the last time I checked, water buffalo were nowhere near endangered. I'd blame stupid liberals but that's redundant.
