MPs join call to save the Animals Abroad Bill
News
The Animals Abroad Bill would ban imports of hunting “trophies”, fur and foie gras, as well as the promotion of elephant tourist rides overseas.
On Wednesday the 27th of April, MPs joined representatives from the “Don’t Betray Animals” Coalition who launched two enormous balloons, shaped like an elephant and a lion, above Parliament to send a clear message to Boris Johnson that animals need action, not hot air.
MPs: John McNally, Martyn Day, Kirsten Oswald and Patricia Gibson
Jessica Terry World Animal Protection UK external affairs manager, “It was great to see MPs asking the Prime Minister to keep his promise and introduce the Animals Abroad Bill. If introduced, the Bill would help end the horrors of trophy hunting and cruel animal entertainment. Our political leaders must act to end animal cruelty and suffering. All animals deserve happy and healthy lives.”
The poll by Focaldata surveyed over 10,000 respondents from 11 to 20 April.
Other groups in the coalition include Animal Aid, Animal Equality UK, the Born Free Foundation, Compassion in World Farming, Four Paws, Humane Society International/UK, the Humane League UK, the League Against Cruel Sports, LUSH, Naturewatch Foundation, the RSPCA, and ourselves.
