This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Petition Enforce economic sanctions against African countries who allow big game hunting.
Big game hunting is classified as sport and the end result as 'trophies'. There is no need for it and it is morally ugly. Africa is not the only continent on which this takes place but, in the public eye, it is foremost, and effective sanctions may influence governments elsewhere in the world.
