WOW! Thank you all for supporting this petition! Let's keep going!!!

We're doing great! Just short of 2,500 signatures - and counting, in less than a day.  So let's push this further now and encourage all our friends, family and colleagues to get behind this. The more signatures we get, the more pressure we can bring to bear on the UK Government to ban lion trophy imports once and for all!!

We only have to look at the complete depletion of lions in trophy hunting areas and the increasing number of incidents where lions are lured out of protected areas, to completely negate any notions that somehow their activity in any way aids conservation of the species.

And all to satisfy the egos of a few score wealthy people who continue to insist they have some right to hunt lions.

Let's show the UK Government that public opinion is firmly in favour of a UK ban on lion trophy imports!
