"Major US Airlines Ban Big-Game Trophies on Their Flights" [1]

"Three American airlines announced they will no longer ship lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, or buffalo killed by trophy hunters."

"Following global outrage over the illegal killing of Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe, a trio of US air carriers have announced they will no longer allow hunters to bring their big-game hunting trophies on flights.

Late Monday, American joined Delta and United in banning the shipment of animals killed by hunters."
