▤ Verbatim text from source document
We want to know what you think about the options we’re considering for importing and exporting hunting trophies to the UK. The options include:
- introducing a ban for certain species
- stricter requirements for moving certain species
- introducing a ban on all hunting trophies
- doing nothing (continuing with internationally agreed rules)
We are not asking for views on whether to ban the practice of trophy hunting, domestic sales or possession of hunting trophies.
This consultation is being run at the same time as our call for evidence on trophy hunting. This call for evidence will help us understand the scale of imports and exports of hunting trophies to and from the UK, and associated impacts.
Update: The closing date has been extended by 1 month to 25 February 2020.
