Urge the European Union to halt the imports of hunting trophies!

Nearly 15,000 hunting trophies of species at risk like elephants, lions, giraffes, polar bears and black rhinos were imported into the EU between 2014 and 2018.

The EU is the world's second largest importer of hunting trophies of internationally protected species. Trophy hunters kill for fun, and Europeans regularly travel to foreign countries to kill iconic and endangered species to bring home body parts for display and decoration.

We want to stand against hunting trophy imports to the EU. We are determined to slam the door on this gruesome industry.

Dear European Parliament, 

Trophy hunting has no place in modern society. The gratuitous killing of wild animals by a small minority of hunters to obtain trophies negatively impacts wild animal populations, exacerbates other pressures on biodiversity, maintains geopolitical inequalities and fails to deliver meaningful socio-economic benefits. Yet the EU is the second biggest importer of hunting trophies in the world.

The undersigned demand that - for as long as the import and export of hunting trophies from threatened and protected species remains legal in the European Union – the EU must take urgent action in the framework of its commitments outlined in the EU Biodiversity Strategy to ensure that the existing requirements of the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations and Habitats Directive with respect to hunting trophies are being properly implemented.  

Kind regards,
