Rejected petition Stop the importation of lion heads, skins, claws and teeth.

Dr Brian May calls for Cecil’s Law.
The world was outraged by the illegal slaughter of Cecil the lion, who was lured to his death through illegal hunting. Britain has allowed the importation of lion trophies with the correct paperwork.

More details

Together with the government, we can deliver Cecil’s Law to the UK, and set an example to the world. Over 1000 lions are bred and slaughtered as trophies every year in South Africa alone. Please sign and share our petition today with friends, family and decision makers. Make Cecil's legacy Cecil's Law.
