Add your name: Donald Trump Jr.

Will you sign the petition to urge the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to bar Donald Trump Jr. from importing his endangered "trophy" home?

Dear MoveOn member,

Donald Trump Jr. recently went to Mongolia with taxpayer-funded support after purchasing a hunting trip at a charity auction to benefit the National Rifle Association (NRA). While in Mongolia, Trump Jr. shot and killed a rare argali sheep that is listed and protected as "Threatened" in Mongolia under the Endangered Species Act.¹

Sign the petition to urge the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to bar Donald Trump Jr. from importing his endangered "trophy" home.

Deny Donald Trump Jr. a permit to import a protected sheep trophy and investigate whether he illegally brought the body parts back into the United States.

Trump Jr. did not reportedly have a permit to kill the imperiled argali sheep at the time of his hunt and was granted one retroactively after he had left the region.

The argali sheep is threatened by agriculture and energy production and is listed as "Decreasing" by the IUCN Red List.

As part of this process, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service considers whether local, national, and multinational laws and regulations are followed and whether the killing of animals is beneficial to conservation as a part of the importation process. As Mr. Trump received a permit for his trophy hunting only after he had killed the imperiled species and was likely able to do so only because of his father's position, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service should reject any forthcoming import request from Mr. Trump and ascertain whether he has already imported the carcass in violation of U.S. law.

Thank you.
