Wild(life)
The word wildlife is symbolic and more than a term to describe animals in the wild. Wild(life) contains the very word that denotes the capacity to reproduce, grow, change, and exist. If we acknowledge that wildlife possesses the same ability as humans to reproduce, grow, and change, then we can assume that they also experience other aspects of life as we do. In other words, they may form families, create bonds, experience grief from losing a loved one, and have a sense of when they feel safe or are in danger. All of these are experiences of being alive. This change of perspective allows us to understand that life is a sacred gift for every species on earth.
A bill called the Prohibiting Threatened and Endangered Creatures Trophies Act of 2024 (H.R. 7840) has recently been introduced in U.S. Congress to protect endangered species around the globe. To help get this bill passed, please take a moment to sign and share this petition.
Your voice matters more than you know. Together we can make a huge impact on the future of our planet's most vulnerable species. So please, join us in this important cause and help spread the word far and wide! If you reside in the U.S., please take it one step further and contact your federal legislators, requesting their support for the Prohibiting Threatened and Endangered Creatures Trophies Act of 2024 (H.R. 7840).
