UK Ban on Hunting Trophies

The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the recently published International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) report, Killing for Trophies: An Analysis of Global Trophy Hunting Trade; condemns the findings in the report showing that as many as 1.7 million hunting trophies may have been traded between nations between 2004 and 2014, and that, of these, at least 200,000 are trophies from threatened taxa; further notes with concern that 107 different nations participated in trophy hunting trade in this period, but just 20 countries were responsible for 97% of the imports, with the USA being the top importer
followed by the EU; considers that the UK should follow the example of the Netherlands and introduce a ban on the import of hunting trophies, and further believes that the UK should lead by example in Europe by introducing an immediate ban on all hunting trophies coming into the UK from threatened or endangered species on animal welfare and conservation grounds.
