The Queen stood before parliament this past Monday announcing plans for the UK to better protect animals and animal welfare and finalize a ban on the import of animal trophies. The announcement was celebrated by animal advocacy groups who have advocated for trophy hunting import bans for several years. The United Kingdom will set the bar high when it comes to animal welfare if this ban comes into place, hopefully pushing other countries to abandon trophy hunting imports as well. Each year, hundreds of thousands of animals are killed for sport all to satisfy the sick urge wealthy human beings have to kill. Not only do they have this urge to end lives, they sickeningly reward themselves with the body parts of the animals they have killed which is like the cherry on top of this rotten to the core sundae. Advocacy groups across the globe have been working diligently to get trophy hunting banned but this would mark one of the biggest countries in the world to make the leap and ban the imports.
We must collectively work towards banning trophy hunting across the globe, but the first place to start is by banning the import of trophies. If all of these countries started putting these bans in place, less people would be willing to participate leading to a decrease in demand. Although scientists have spoken out against a complete and abrupt ban on trophy hunting, this option of banning the imports is a slow and steady way to begin curbing this despicable industry.
Congratulations to the United Kingdom, I look forward to reporting on the official ban coming into effect and hopefully reporting on more countries enacting similar bans!! HAPPY VEG
