Colonial Racism On Full Display In UK Parliament’s Proposed Trophy Import Ban
In recently banning the importation of animals taken by hunters—predominantly from its former colonies in Sub-Saharan Africa—the British Parliament has once again signaled to African leaders that they are too ignorant and undisciplined to manage their wildlife affairs and care for their own people.

I'm glad to see it's met with resistance. I fully-support the elimination of puppy farms, but existing legislation is sufficiently-robust to deal with offenders. The proposed ban of trophy imports was nothing other than a spiteful attack on something absolutely vital to the economy in many parts of Africa and Europe. Once again, it seems power is being abused in favour of personal opinion and offence.

This is interesting now as there is a problem in the ranks of the ban trophy hunting brigade. Lord Ashcroft has said carrie Johnson is influencing Boris on government issues as we have all seen in the press recently. These 2 are the major players in ban trophy hunting so something seems to have broken down somewhere. Ashcroft was behind the Lion issue a few years ago along with Carrie Johnson, Eduardo Goncalves and the snake Peter Carr.
Lets hope it all goes away.
