Born Free Foundation - Keep Wildlife in the Wild

Support Born Free’s call to ban lion ‘Trophy’ imports into the EU!

The King of the Jungle is in trouble. Wild African lion populations are declining at an alarming rate, with a reduction of at least 48.5% over the last 22 years.  Evidence provided to the US government this week overwhelmingly concludes that unless urgent action is taken, the wild lion will be lost from much of its current range.

Outrageously, despite the perilous situation for wild lions, they continue to be shot and killed in their hundreds to be mounted as ‘trophies’ on westerner’s walls. After the United States, European Union member States are the biggest importers of lion trophies worldwide. With lion populations in such rapid decline we must act now to save this magnificent species.

Unsustainable trophy hunting is posing a serious threat to wild lion populations in Africa. I join Born Free in calling for a ban on the importation of lion ‘trophies’ into the European Union.
