Impose sanctions on countries involved in the illegal tiger trade

Petition Details

The commercial international trade in tigers and their parts has been banned since 1987, after a vote by the countries party to CITES, an international treaty regulating the wildlife trade.

Additional Information

The illegal trade of these majestic creatures continues in countries such as China, Thailand and Laos.

We implore the UK Government to use its political strength and global reach to put pressure on these countries to completely eradicate the destruction, torture and decimation of these beautiful, defenceless creatures.

This could be done by applying sanctions or trade restrictions.

Make the UK the leader in protecting the tiger!
