Ban Lion Trophy Imports

Additional Information

BAN THE IMPORT OF LION TROPHIES

The African Lion has plummeted from over 200,000 to an estimated 20,000 in just 50 years.

Where there is a clear threat to a species, we must stop all further imports of that species.

Canned Hunting - the killing of habituated lions within an enclosure. Lions bred in captivity in South Africa, petted and raised by volunteers & tourists and then sold to be hunted, often drugged & baited.

These tourists & volunteers are not aware of the lions destination.

Lion farmers also need a constant supply of wild lions to prevent in-breeding, leading to poached lions.

The likes of Melissa Bachman & Kendall Jones are clear examples of hunters & their focus on the thrill of killing rather than actual conservation of the species.

Where there's doubt over a lion trophy's origin or unethical background, the UK must take the stance of denying the import of all lion trophies.
