Delta, United, and American Airlines have all banned the shipment of hunting trophies. Now I am asking that FedEx, the largest shipping company in the world, join the movement and commit to a similar ban.

Sign Katelyn's petition

Guy –

It pains me every time I see Cecil the lion's face in the news because it reminds me how he was killed – lured out of his protective home in a national park and shot without a fighting chance. Trophy hunting is cruel, and it must end.

I know I am not alone in how I feel because over one million people signed a petition asking for justice for Cecil, and nearly 400,000 signed a petition asking Delta to ban shipments of hunting trophies. Soon after Cecil's death, Delta Air Lines announced they would ban the shipments of the top five most prized trophies, all of which are seriously endangered – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros, and buffalo. And United Airlines and American Airlines quickly followed with similar shipping bans.

But FedEx, the largest shipping company and cargo airline in the world, is still shipping hunting trophies, like Cecil. In response to Delta's ban, FedEx publicly stated that they still consider hunting trophies "legitimate shipments." As long as FedEx continues to ship endangered and threatened animals, trophy hunting can continue.

Please sign my petition asking FedEx to stop supporting the destruction of endangered wildlife by banning the shipment of hunting trophies.

If FedEx bans the shipment of hunting trophies, it will become a whole lot harder for trophy hunters to send their kills home. As the largest shipping company in the world, FedEx has an opportunity to become a global leader on this issue and protect wildlife around the world.

And if this happens, we could work toward ending trophy hunting altogether.

Join me in calling on FedEx to join this movement and ban the shipment of all hunting trophies.

Thank you,
