Almost certainly. You only need spend five minutes looking at the content of the recent parliamentary debate to realise this is a mass virtue signalling event by politicians and much of the media. Any legislation resulting from these disgraceful antics will be sloppily framed, badly thought out and full of unintended and half-intended consequences, along with tons of collateral damage. Some prick's bound to add amendments to ban everything under the sun.
Trophy ban !! Very important , if we allow this to happen they will then target uk hunting , please sign , and share with friends, action needed !!

I have known people to say that by keeping venison that is then your trophy
I've said it before, the most dangerous animal on earth is a politician keen to be seen doing something.
What's worse is that our PM is currently under the thrall (ie being lead by his appendage [the dishonorable member?]) of an urban tree hugger (another dangerous animal).
Whatever law is drafted it'll be unfit for purpose and hit the wrong targets, a bit like the Dangerous Dogs Act and other such knee-jerk nonsense

Me too. Text below:
We rejected the petition you supported – “Do not ban hunting trophies from entering the UK”.
It’s offensive, nonsense, a joke, or an advert.
We can't accept petitions that promote private organisations.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards:
How petitions work
Thanks,
The Petitions team
UK Government and Parliament
Seems it’s both sides getting rejected

Just read that report that Orion posted
It reads like something you would hear from an american preacher - a mixture of sensation, woolly thinking, inaccuracy and twaddle
We seem to be watching a society returning to a pre-scientifc age
One where reason is trumped by superstition
Quiet fact replaced with loud ignorance

Watching the debate is even better!
Parliament TV
If watching the whole clip makes you nauseous, at least see Dr Lisa Cameron MP (SNP) from 15:23:00 onwards as she repeats the totally false ‘Puffin Hunters’ story that was circulating in the MSM a few months ago
CA News: PuffinGate
Had the same message to so sent it on to the local MP

My reply from local MP >>>>>
Thank you for contacting me about trophy hunting.
I truly believe that as sentient beings who can experience fear and pain, all animals should be treated with thought and care. Trophy hunting involves pursuing another animal in conditions which cause it stress, fear and pain, with hunters killing as a form of entertainment, not for food, to control pests or to protect other species.
I understand that there are arguments for conservation hunting. Some individuals and organisations make the case for conservation hunting as a way of bringing income into countries with rich wildlife populations but poor economies. They also argue that commercial hunting provides a strong incentive to manage and safeguard wildlife populations and protect other valuable natural resources from exploitation. I also recognise that occasionally there is a need to cull some species to keep nature in balance and the control of predators to protect other species.
However, I cannot see how those justifications can be used to defend hunters who kill an animal which has been bred in captivity for the specific purpose of being hunted for entertainment. I believe action is needed to stop this sort of exploitation. I am therefore delighted that the Government will consult on a ban on the import of these trophies, which I hope you will be able to take part in.
High standards of animal welfare are one of the hallmarks of a civilised society. We have a long tradition of protecting animals in this country, often many years before others follow. I believe that leaving the EU will allows us to take even bigger steps forward on this.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. I hope this comes as some reassurance.

considering the sheer amount of dentition we're talking about here, this seems rather apt.

That's who we need. Vinnie. He's a shooting man and his old man is/was a game keeper
It's in the Queens speech today about the proposal to ban trophy imports. The speech for the opening of Parliament is written for her by the Government so I think it's a foregone conclusion.
