WEB Calls for a Ban Escalate as Controversial Hunting Contests Kill More Than 60,000 Animals a Year
WEB Plans to Ban Imports of Animal Hunting Trophies to Great Britain
WEB The Hunting Act 2004 c 37 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which bans the hunting of most wild.
Conservation groups and campaigners have called on the government to move faster with plans to ban the import of animal hunting trophies into Great Britain. The ban, which was first proposed in 2019, would make it illegal to import any animal hunting trophy that was obtained after the ban came into force. The move comes as part of a wider government crackdown on trophy hunting, which has been condemned by animal rights groups as cruel and unnecessary.
The ban in force from 2014 until 2019 fundamentally upended and criminalised the game-meat culture.
The proposed ban on animal hunting trophy imports has been welcomed by conservation groups, who say it will help to protect endangered species. However, the ban has also been criticized by some hunting organizations, who argue that it will unfairly target legitimate hunters who follow all the rules and regulations.
The government is expected to announce its decision on the ban in the coming weeks. If the ban is approved, it will become law in early 2020.
