The latest panic on the left over a Trump decision has to do with hunting of endangered animals, but even hardcore Trumpster huckster Laura Ingraham had to part with the prez on this one.
I don't understand how this move by @realDonaldTrump Admin will not INCREASE the gruesome poaching of elephants. Stay tuned. https://t.co/KqizmlgaGg

Here’s what the linked article read:
The Trump administration on Wednesday announced that it will issue permits for elephant trophies from Zambia and Zimbabwe, reversing a 2014 ban under President Obama.
A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official told ABC News that the agency received new information from the countries that the move would benefit conservation in the area.
“Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit the conservation of certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation,” the FWS statement said.
Some pointed out that his sons were avid hunters – perhaps this was a decision for personal purposes?
