We've written to Rishi Sunak - now we need you to help too. |

Dear John,
We are writing to ask you, once again, for your support in imploring the UK government to put a stop the importing of hunting trophies to the UK.
The Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill, which would fulfil a UK government commitment to ban the import of hunting trophies from threatened species and which carries cross-party and overwhelming public support, is at a critical stage in its passage through Parliament.
The Bill, which was endorsed by the House of Commons and passed its Second Reading in the House of Lords on 16th June, has yet to go through its Committee and Report stages in the Lords before it can become law.
However, as yet these stages have not been timetabled, and with the current parliamentary session due to end in early November, time is running short.

Trophy hunting is cruel, it damages the conservation of diminishing wildlife populations in many parts of the world, and prevents the development of progressive, humane and much more effective ways of ensuring that local people can peacefully co-exist with and benefit from wildlife.
The UK has a real opportunity to take a firm stand against the vile trophy hunting industry. We have written to the Prime Minister and to Lord True, leader of the House of Lords, asking them to ensure the Bill is given sufficient time to pass into law, and to oppose any attempts to water it down.
We’re asking you to help one more time, by doing the same.

Please write to Rishi Sunak and Lord True, using the template letter below.

If you would rather send a letter by post, please write to:
The Rt Hon. Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister. 10 Downing Street, London, SW1A 2AA The Rt Hon. the Lord True CBE. House of Lords, London, SW1A 0PW |
Thank you for your support. Together we can #GettheBanDone.
