From the web, it won't be long before we can't ship elk & deer with these silly folks:
Big game hunters who fly Delta or American airlines are going to have to find another way of getting their gory trophies home.
“Effective immediately, Delta will officially ban shipment of all lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo trophies worldwide as freight,” the airline said in a statement Monday.
American Airlines followed suit with a similar ban on Monday.
Delta is not stopping there.
“Delta will also review acceptance policies of other hunting trophies with appropriate government agencies and other organizations supporting legal shipments,” the statement said.
The air carriers lowered the boom after two U.S. doctors became international pariahs after they were accused of illegally hunting lions in Zimbabwe.
