Ban all trophy hunting
1.2 million animals have been killed by people in the name of trophy hunting. That breaks down to about 70,000 animals each year.
Animals everyday are hunted and killed as trophies, including Africa's "big five" species: Buffalo, elephants, leopards, lions and rhinos.
Everyday people kill animals for fun, for money and for likes on Instagram/Twitter.
One day, our children will never see these animals, they are becoming extinct and we need to work together to put a stop to this.
Let animals be free!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. Hunting of the "big five" species in Africa is the responsibility of governments in Africa.
There are already petitions about trophy hunting. You might like to sign one of these if they call for something you'd like to happen:
