After calling it a “horror show” last year, President Donald Trump promised to ban the importation of endangered animals killed during African big-game hunting expeditions.

But that pledge didn’t last long, as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service quietly reversed the president’s empty assurance this week.

Elephants, along with other threatened species, are angry.

“If President Trump thinks we’re going to forget about this betrayal, he’s got the wrong animal,” said an African elephant living in Zimbabwe, speaking through an interpreter. “We will remember this broken promise during the midterms in November and will work with animal conservation groups to fight the anti-environmental policies of the Trump administration and its standard bearer, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Head stomping is not out of the question either.”
