The U.S. is one of the biggest markets for giraffe parts. https://t.co/G7Hp9MjR7X

This is so unnecessary.  What is the world doing. Get a hemp rug or something .

    Fuck people (as a species).

    One out of five young girls in Sweden are vegetarian - leading the charge.

    One out of five people in the US want giraffe rugs. 

    Get with it.

    Yeah  I'm blown away by wanting a giraffe body part. Foot or leg or a baby preserved . Just what for?
    I'm not really an activist but I can't understand this.
    1 giraffe a day is imported into the u.s  legally for this.

    Aside from the silly joke about 1/5 people in US wanting giraffe rugs I agree with everything posted here. 
    Why do we need giraffe rugs? 
    People are whacked.

    I would probably eat giraffe if I was starving, but a giraffe rug or pillow is a bit vain for my liking.

    hunting for trophies makes me want to vomit. 

    and I really hate vomitting.

    I like that picture of Trump Jr. gleefully holding up the giraffe tail he crudely severed from its mutilated corpse. He's a big tuff hunter like all the other big tuff hunters that pay money to go to Africa and kill things.

    Some people go to Africa and take pictures of things and enjoy them. Others go to Africa and kill things. They pat people on the head and with an obscene twist of logic... tell them they are helping the local economy and conservation efforts. The argument is tantamount to some scumbag saying he has helped a starving family by paying them to sleep with their daughter.

    I want a rhinoceros to mow over that goofy looking rodent. How fast could he run away? He looks less athletic than his pud father. F**king wanker.

    I want a hippo for my moat.  The ultimate in water protection!

    Is that legal?

    That photo of the human pig with a giraffe rug just makes me want to puke.  What kind of a sick fuck would do that?

    They hate life, hate the world, and only want to destroy.

    Sometimes I can't work out how I share the same air and earth as some people. 
    We seem world's apart from these people .
    It baffles  me that anyone wants these things in their  life  as furniture and animal body parts as ornimants .

    Nearly 40,000 giraffe parts have been imported to the US in last 10 years

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/23/giraffe-parts-humane-society-report

    This is why no one takes leftist serious ... this has been an ongoing problem ... yet its a Trump problem.  Some of you are getting pathetic and to damn delicate.  Ans I'm no Trump supporter.  Just someone who is skeptical of any politician.

    Of course not ... I'm not defending him.  It is not something that just started under Trump ... like I said pathetic.  Enjoy Trump till 2024.

    Sadly it's true, it didn't start with Trump.  But I'll bet you anything more people in Trump's circle by far would support killing giraffes than in Obama's circle.

    And if Trump is re-elected, I'm going to have myself cryogenically frozen for four years.

    LMFAO ... if Obama cared so much why did he not ban the practice...

    It's been going a while.  But we'll blame Trump...

    Trophy hunting is WRONG!  If you are in a position to stop trophy but fail to, then I'm going to assume you are supporting.

    JESUS. no one said trump started the practice or he is directly to blame for it. but his SONS ACTUALLY TROPHY BIG GAME HUNT. and their character is directly related to trump.

    what the fuck does obama have to do with this?

    Are you following the discussion or interrupting without proper knowledge.  We are talking about giraffes parts being imported in your country.  

    I would suspect if the banning of giraffes parts coming into the US in whatever form, then that would significantly reduce the amount of giraffes being killed.  But hey it all Trumps fault.

    he's trying to figure out the point you are making. no one has said anything about it being trump's fault. you are inventing this as a talking point to antagonize people.
