BRUSSELS, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, Humane Society International/Europe handed a petition with nearly 50,000 signatures from citizens from all over the world to the European Parliament's Committee on Petitions, urging the EU to take action against the trade in hunting trophies. The petition offers concrete interim policy recommendations to strengthen existing EU rules on the import and export of hunting trophies.

Key Points: 
  • The petition offers concrete interim policy recommendations to strengthen existing EU rules on the import and export of hunting trophies.
  • The European Parliament is well placed to address the repeated failure of the EU to properly implement existing regulatory protections.
  • We are disappointed that even the recently adopted revised EU Action Plan on Wildlife Trafficking also listed 'well-managed trophy hunting' as a form of sustainable form of income.
  • The action plan also states that the Commission will consider extending the EU legal requirement for hunting trophies to be accompanied by import permits to more species.
