This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Make poaching illegal for any UK citizen anywhere in the world not just the UK.

Based on recent events in Africa, concerning Cecil the Lion it has been clear that poaching goes on at the cost of life to those animals for no reason other than personal gratification, these animals are dying out in great numbers and something needs to be done.

More details

Poachers constantly post pictures on social media boasting and showing off with what they have killed with no consequences lets make a stand against this, show that the UK really is a country of animal lovers and show it is not acceptable
