Good evening friends. Its great to be here with you. Sammy & Family would like to applaud Delta Airlines for putting an immediate ban on carrying exotic animals to trophy hunting destinations. Now many airlines have that done that already. But it looks as though the killing of Cecil the lion raised the bar for the attention warranted so long ago regarding animal cruelty and senseless killings.
I would like to point out one thing though. Why does it take a media frenzy toget the airlines to do that right thing from the get go. Point being is airlines should have not transported exotic animals to trophy hunting destinations ever at all.
We want to see a large company, airline or whatever kind of company, take the right and preemptive action from the very beginning. I am mean I am happy Delta joined the other airlines with respect to this ban. At the same time, i find it disingenuous and comes on the heels of the killing of Cecil which has the world in uproar.
Here’s Sammy & Family’s conclusion, do the right thing from beginning. We have said this before and we will say it again. Money is important, but not important enough to inflict such cruelty on defenseless animals
Sincerely, Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
