Historical BackgroundReturn to Top

On Saturday, October 7, the Global March for Elephants, Rhinos, and Lions was held in Seattle. The march, hosted by Seattle Global March Elephants-Rhinos-Lions and Emerald City Pet Rescue, began at 11:00am at the Seattle Center Broad Street Garden. Marchers were led to Westlake Center by the dance group Samba OlyWa, who were dressed as tigers. Speakers included Drew Abrahamson from Captured in Africa Foundation and Carl Thornton from Pit-Track. The focus of the march was on banning trophy hunting, banning the ivory trade, fighting extinction, and defending animal conservation. Later in 2017, President Donald Trump would announce a reversal of a ban on trophy imports from Zimbabwe which had been imposed by the Obama administration. Two days later, after immense public blow-back, President Trump tweeted to suggest that he would instead maintain the ban.
