VIDEO: Donald Trump’s sons battle PETA over killing African big game animalsAnimal rights advocates and environmental groups criticized Thursday’s decision. “Elephants and other big game in Africa are blood currency for terrorist organizations, and they are being killed at an alarming rate. The new policy applies to the remains of African elephants killed between January 2016 and December 2018. “Furthermore, I am not convinced that elephant populations in the area warrant overconcentration measures.”The world’s largest land mammal, the African elephant has been classified as threatened under the U.S. As a result, the number of African elephants has shrunk from about five million a century ago to about 400,000 remaining.
