Doubt it...the government won't listen to experts in their fields of conservation ( or representatives of african countriesand communities), even ones who say they don't agree with hunting but state it works for conservation of species , and that banning the import etc will cause serious damage to the protection of all species not only in African countries but worldwide....I believe Zak goldsmith met one of the specialists and said OK I hear what you are saying and it makes sense, but I personally don't like it...so

I mean that's basically the reasoning behind all trophy import bans nowadays. If 'The Guardian' of all media outlets in the UK is calling into question the reasoning and effectiveness of such a ban, then you know whatever is going on in government is f*cked up.

The UK has turned into an overbearing bureaucracy as of the past 10 years and the government over there is only getting more and more corrupt as time passes.

I am hard pressed to understand how the MPs could ignore the submission from the affected countries and the oxford university researcher. The reasoning devalues the interests of a group despite the value of their evidence. Systemic descrimination is identified in actions that cannot be explained otherwise. If the shoe fits....

Someone needs to amend it to include fish, squid, octopus, beef, and other savory meats...then see how far it gets...

From my understanding MPs are being bullied into agreeing with the twat that came up with the whole idea. Its simple if they vote against the bill he goes to the tabloids and tells them. Politicians have lost any back bone they had. That is assuming they had one to start with

The MPs just do not care at all, some are decent but my view is that the vast majority do not want to take an unpopular decision.

One of the MPs driving this through represents a large rural constituency and has previously been supportive of shooting. I suspect it is just to get votes though. They just do not understand and won't make any effort. Most legislation seems to be the same.

There are no votes in taking the right decision if the pop singers, footballers and actresses don't like it.

 

[Novice Huntress]

We have a government well behind in opinion polls, so virtue signalling legislation such as this is merely about getting some extra votes!!

During the 1700s-1800s, Great Britain colonized us (Asians & Africans) and controlled what we did in our own countries. They explicitly said that they knew what was better for us than we did. They officially stopped colonizing us between the 1940s-1960s. But we have gained independence from them only in name.

More than 60-80 years after “Giving us independence”, the British are STILL trying to decide what we do IN OUR COUNTRIES WITH OUR WILDLIFE. Now, they’re just singing a different song, claiming that they are speaking up for the “Innocent voiceless animals” in the name of “Wildlife conservation“. This is pure neocolonialism in it’s most blatant form.

The closest these spineless British M.Ps and tabloid journalists have ever gotten to seeing wildlife, is on “Discovery Channel“ or “Animal Planet“. Or a petting zoo, at most. They sit in their centrally heated, air conditioned offices wearing their tailored suits and play “Big Brother“ for other countries.

It was a British man named Guy Mountford who indirectly had tiger hunting banned all throughout Asia in 1972. The blood of all the hundreds of locals who lose their lives to the depredations of man eating Royal Bengal tigers every year, is on his hands.

Great Britain has become a woke leftist farce. A joke who shouldn’t even be treated by other countries with any degree of seriousness.

Wow. I wonder what happened to the poor lady after the show ... hope those "most decent people" did not crucify her. When she start talking facts and no better way she just signed the death sentence . Very nice "in your face" moment about PETA funding the conservancy though .... thumbs up.

It's called selective outrage, They get to choose what to ban or not and you don't have a say in the matter.

Britons today are, with some exeptions, a bunch of twats.. It boggles the mind that they even have the audacity to critizise how asian/african states manage their wildlife today..after de-colonization..
