*[Enwl-eng] 60 lions have been slaughtered by British hunters since Cecil the lion's death

[ENWL]

            After Cecil the lion was killed by brutal trophy hunters, the UK 
said "never again." They lied.

                 Trophy hunting gets its name from the horrifying tradition 
of keeping a part of the slaughtered animal as a trophy. Heads of lions, 
skins of tigers, feet from elephants, or horns from rhinos are among some of 
the most prized souvenirs. We all remember the tragic killing of Cecil the 
lion in Zimbabwe, perpetrated by a dentist from the U.S. who paid $55,000 
for the privilege of murdering a highly treasured and endangered animal and 
bringing its body parts home as trophies.

                  Oftentimes, the best way to discourage trophy hunting is 
to ban the importing of these trophies, since most trophy hunters — 
typically the rich and elite — come from abroad into countries where these 
precious and endangered animals live. It has now been 5 years since Cecile 
the lion was murdered, which means the UK has spent 5 years offering empty 
promises of a hunting trophy imports ban without any follow through. The 
wild lion population has plummeted by 98% in the past 70 years, and could 
totally disappear in the next 30. Sign the petition if you think enough is 
enough! The United Kingdom's Parliament must immediately introduce 
legislation banning the importation of hunting trophies before one more 
animal dies for this horrible sport!

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.

                  P.S. The UK has been promising a hunting trophy import ban 
for years. Sign the petition to demand they finally follow through.
