There may be as few as 50 left. Africa's "Super Tuskers" Are Getting Shot By Trophy Hunters      Sign Now      Dear friends,   Africa's "super tuskers," are elephants with tusks weighing over 100 pounds. Sadly, these amazing creatures are in grave danger. Their large tusks, a symbol of their grandeur, have made them targets, leading to their decline. Recently, another super tusker in Tanzania was reportedly shot and killed by a trophy hunter. The devastating killing, which allegedly involved a prominent American trophy hunter from Texas, highlights the growing threat to these majestic animals.   Sign the petition to demand an immediate reinstatement and enforcement of the moratorium on trophy hunting of elephants between Kenya and Tanzania, respecting the nearly 30-year agreement.   This is reportedly the third "super tusker" gunned down near the Tanzanian-Kenyan border in the last six months. These elephants are crucial for their communities, contributing to genetic diversity and the stability of elephant societies. With possibly as few as 50 left, their loss impacts not just their populations but the entire ecosystem. Sign the petition to demand the moratorium on trophy hunting of elephants between Kenya and Tanzania is reinforced to protect these magnificent animals! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. These elephants are crucial to their communities. Demand justice!      Sign Now
