I read an interesting article on the deer stalking UK Facebook group titled "Not so black and white, my Lords" originally in Country Squire magazine.
It spells out "Trophy" hunting in a no nonsense manner.
What is most ironic is the the Very wildlife that the animal lovers profess to care about will disappear without sport hunting and it`s added benefits of habitat protection, funding for anti poaching patrOLs, local infrastructure and employment.
I can’t link it but perhaps some other computer savvy person could?

Well said Malc. i have, over the last 30 years been privaliged to hunt in almost 20 countries world wide and the best bit for me is to see how they all manage their wildlife. It is very different in some cases to way we do thing s here. I particularly like the way it works in eastern europe and in many cases is much better than here, Africa has it just right I think and my next adventure will be a bow hunt in Namibia and I will take "trophies". Just to put the cat among the pigeons I would love to see bow hunting in the UK!

No other article quite sums the arrogance and disingenious motivation of our politicians. Nor their utter disregard for the biodiversity devastation their decisions will wreak.
For the record, this is how far the Bill has progressed:
Here is the summation by Trudy Harrison at the third reading and vote in the House of Commons:
And here is the: Hunting Tropies (Import Prohibition) Bill. That Bill references the EU Annexes A and B found in COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2017/160.
You will find Lechwe, Bontebok, Oryx, Zebra and a myriad other common African species included. The management of those populations and environments are funded by hunters.

Please note that following the UK Parliament decision to pass a law banning the importation of trophies and the massively heightened current interest in subject, Quest Freight Ltd will no longer handle trophy imports after 30th April 2023.
Any transactions already actioned, or actioned by the end of April, will be seen through to completion including CITIES transactions that may take many months to complete. This will obviously be dependent on when a total ban is imposed. Any applications to be processed will need to be paid for in advance as the ban may come into place whilst CITIES are processing applications.
We will not abandon any shipment that has reached the licence application stage or a full shipment pre alert by this date unless the ban is imposed during shipment/application. If a shipment arrives and is not customs cleared and delivered before the ban is in place all arrival charges will be payable in full including those for destruction or return of the shipment.
Any goods already in process but not arriving until after the 30th April will need to be paid for in full before arrival

I saw that some time ago when a CIC measurer showed a “Gold” fox skull. It gave me a giggle. I would shoot about 100 a year and it has never occurred to me to check them as trophies.

Any ideas if there is any scope for this to be amended in lords? Surely CITES regulated all of this anyway.
Seems to be very little noise from BASC, SACS , Scottish gamekeepers about this in the media or elsewhere? Looks like it is just being accepted as a loosing battle.
You can disbelieve this if you like but I’ve got a gold rabbit with a silver fox in its mouth .

Looking into this , annex B seems to cover a fair few things. Black bear are common across the pond and widely hunted. Yet would be off limits..
Think this will have a fair knock on
