As David asked, "Will they ban the shipment of baby parts"? Seems Delta us being a little to knee jerk here.... Do they ban terrorists?
What a knee jerk reaction from Delta, If that is there mentality, what other quirts do they have, Quality Safety etc. I'm going to rethink who I fly with.
Will they ban the shipment of baby parts?
Why just baby parts? Why not ban adult parts as well? Not sure of your logic there.
Not a knee jerk reaction from Delta. They just joined several other airlines that are doing the same thing. Some of the bans began before the Cecil episode. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/04/us-zimbabwe-wildlife-airlines-idUSKCN0Q90KT20150804
But not to worry, big game hunters, Big Brown is still shipping, and delivering.

As long as the trophies are legal they should be transported by any company. I'm not a hunter myself, but hunting is a legal activity in most cultures and should be treated as such.
