Reinstate Ban on Elephant Ivory and Elephant Trophies

November 15, 2017D ear Mr. Sheehan, I am deeply dismayed by the news today that your department has reversed a ban on the import of ivory and other elephant trophies in the United States from Zimbabwe and Zambia.   Americans are deeply opposed to this ban reversal, and their case is much better supported than the case put together by the Department of Fish and Wildlife Service.   In fact, 98% of all U.S. citizens oppose laws which support the import of ivory into the United States.   As acting…

It held a massive shipbuilding center, and was a stopover for gold-laden ships en-route to the Spanish motherland.  It was, as you can see from the Malecón, impenetrable. A French Pirate had easily plundered Habana Vieja in 1555, burning the place to the ground on his way out.  That’s a compelling incentive to fortify.
