Internet slams 'disgusting' Donald Trump Jr. after he skates for killing endangered Mongolian sheep [View all]
According to new reports, Donald Trump Jr. illegally shot and killed an endangered argali sheep on a taxpayer-funded hunting trip in Western Mongolia in August — and the Mongolian government retroactively gave him a permit rather than tread on the toes of the U.S. government.
The report was met with outrage on social media, with commenters blasting Trump Jr.’s bloodthirst for endangered animals and the wealth and privilege that allowed him to kill them with no accountability. Some even compared it to the right-wing outrage about Hunter Biden being given a free position on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

From wiki:
Argali are considered an endangered or threatened species throughout their entire range, due largely to habitat loss from overgrazing of domestic sheep and hunting. As the world's largest sheep, the lure to gather a trophy specimen is strong among sports-hunters. They are hunted for both their meat and their horns, used in traditional Chinese medicine, and poaching continues to be a major (and difficultilly managed) problem. Argali have been extirpated from northeastern China, southern Siberia, and parts of Mongolia. Populations of predators such as gray wolves and snow leopards have appeared to have been negatively affected by the scarcity of argali.
In Pakistan-administered Kashmir it is listed as an endangered species.

The little shit traveled halfway around the world to kill an endangered wild animal and we got to pay for it.
BTW according to another report the Mongolian government had to make Trump Jr's hunting permit retroactive.
