Jane Goodall to UPS: Stop shipping big-game trophies - Atlanta Business Chronicle
Renowned African wildlife defender Jane Goodall has sent a letter to United Parcel Service Inc. to ask the Atlanta-based shipping giant stop shipping the carcasses of exotic wildlife slaughtered by trophy hunters.
In her letter to UPS International President Jim Barber, Goodall notes the domino effect Cecil the Lion’s recent death has had on his cubs and how major airlines, including Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) have since stopped shipping big-game trophies. However, UPS (NYSE: UPS) says it follows U.S. and international laws, not public opinion, in determining what it will and won’t ship.
