https://www.dailymaverick.co.z...-ban-trophy-imports/ UK to recognise animals as sentient and ban trophy imports By Don Pinnock• 12 May 2021 It’s a huge victory for animal welfare campaigners as the UK moves to halt cruelty to domestic and wild creatures. The UK has tabled a raft of legislation to declare animals as sentient, halt most live exports, ban ivory and shark fin sales and import of wild trophies from endangered species. In addition, people will be forbidden to keep primates as pets, to use wild animals in travelling circuses and to use farrowing crates for pigs, and cages for laying hens. The government will also legislate to ban the advertising and offering for sale in the UK of unacceptable practices abroad such as canned lion hunting. It plans to crack down on puppy theft, which has boomed under Covid lockdowns, cruel glue traps as pest control, and to ban electric-shock dog training collars. It will legislate on animal welfare in the horse racing industry. The government has commissioned research into the sentience of creatures such as octopus, squid, crayfish and lobsters. The various pieces of legislation, which will go before Parliament during its current session, have been built around the commitment to recognise in law the sentience of animals. The Animal Welfare Act of 2006 accepted that animals can feel pain and suffering. According to a policy paper just released by the Department for Environment and Rural Affairs, “Now we have left the EU and the transition period has finished, we can go further. Explicitly recognising and enshrining animals as sentient beings in law will be at the very heart of central government decision-making going forward.” The proposed legislation, recognising the 2019 Manifesto Commitment to ban the import of foreign hunting trophies from endangered animals, takes forward legislation “to ensure UK imports and exports of hunting trophies are not threatening the conservation status of species”. The policy paper says the government will be implementing the Ivory Act this year to ban dealing in elephant ivory and plans to consult on extending the act to other species. Parliament will be tasked to implement proposals contained within the Animal Welfare (Sentience), Kept Animals, Animals Abroad and Environment bills as well as consolidating the Ivory Act, the Hunting Act and other non-legislative measures.

England has been in the sewer for some time now. Some of my friends began telling me what was going on 10 years ago; they moved out of the UK. Here, we are looking at the USF&W about to cave to the FOIA so anti-hunting groups can have access to your personal information. This includes anyone importing trophies from around the world. I can't wait until crowds of minions are standing in front of our homes, screaming, shouting, throwing rocks...gun play is bound to happen.

OK, what's the problem? We have just been told that we don't hunt endangered species. So that is a non issue. I assume that no one on this forum is in favor of shark finning. If you are please say so! Hasn't importation of ivory been banned in the USA already? Well, kind of, until Trump reversed it! "It will legislate on animal welfare in the horse racing industry." Let's see, the winner of the Kentucky Derby last week failed a drug test after the race and the trainer has been banned from entering any more horses in races at Churchill Downs. Must be government overreach, except it isn't the government it is Churchill Downs! Geez, it's just a frigging horse! Ever heard of horse soring? Fine with you guys? Bulls--t!

The issue they had with the drug was that it’s a performance enhancer, not that it has a particularly ill effect on the horse. The reason those guys were treated as they were is that if horse racing has problems and races are manipulated, the gambling around it goes away, and the industry loses a ton of money. Now, I’m not going to argue that there isn’t some cruelty in the business- like breeding thoroughbreds and if they do not produce winnings, either they get put down or sold for minimal money. Non-producing horses are not treated well by some of the operators if you read the papers. That being said, sentience is more than experiencing pain. Hopefully the UK gets some sense. If they try and legislate vegetarianism and mandate no petrol use, folks are going to get very cold and wet and hungry there. As to shark finning, to me it’s incredibly wasteful more so than “cruel”. Face it, you pull that fish out of the water with a net, it’s likely already dead or dying. I actually like shark meat- but have never had shark fin soup or whatever the delicacy is. | |||

It's amazing how an article in a tabloid paper, written to inflame a particular segment of the population (for the purpose of selling more papers) can set off otherwise intelligent people who should know better than to take such articles at face value. There is as much factual information in this article as in the one on page 3 confirming alien spaceships stealing power from the electric grid and leaving behind new strains of coronavirus. C'mon guys. Can't you tell when you're being taken for a ride? | |||

https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/n...-trophy-hunting-ban/ Stockport MPs call for stricter rules on proposed trophy hunting ban Labour MP, Mr Gwynne, raised concerns that animals including zebras, reindeers and striped hyenas would all fall outside of the ‘sufficiently endangered’ category and therefore not be included in the proposed ban 29 May 2021 Joseph Richards By Joseph Richards Two borough MPs have called for stricter rules to be applied to the government’s proposed trophy hunting ban. Andrew Gwynne, MP for Denton and Reddish and Naendu Mishra MP for Stockport, Greater Manchester, have both backed a motion in parliament for the proposed ban on trophy imports to cover all the species whose trophies are imported to the UK. Labour MP Mr Gwynne, raised concerns that animals including zebras, reindeers and striped hyenas would all fall outside of the ‘sufficiently endangered’ category and therefore not be included in the proposed ban. An early day motion has subsequently been launched in parliament by Conservative MP Sir David Amess and has received support from explorer Ranulph Fiennes as well as being sponsored by Stockport MP Navendu Mishra. The motion seeks to put pressure on the government to expand the ban and calls for ‘an effective enforcement regime with tough punitive measures for offenders.’ Andrew Gwynne said: “I’m proud to be supporting this motion. Trophy hunting is cruel and barbaric, and we need to ensure that those who seek to profit from the killings of these beautiful creatures face tough consequences. Stockport MP Navendu Mishra has sponsored an early day motion calling for stricter rules on trophy hunting imports. “The government’s trophy hunting import ban has been a long time coming, and if the ban doesn’t cover all species including zebras and hyenas it will be totally unfit for purpose and shift the cruelty from one species to another. “We need to see robust legislation to ensure that these creatures are protected and send a message that Britain will not tolerate animal cruelty.” In a report published in 2019, the Guardian revealed that lion bones, leopard skulls and an ottoman chair’s elephant leather were among the 74 rare animal body parts legally brought into the UK in 2018. The director of Humane Society International, Claire Bass, said the current wording of the legislation could create a ‘giant loophole’.
