Wild-Caught Bird Trade

EDM number 70 in 1992-93, proposed by Roger Gale on 18/05/1992.

That this House notes that high levels of mortality and suffering are inherent in the wild-caught bird trade, which also threatens the conservation and survival of several species; welcomes the European Parliament's call for an import ban; congratulates those airlines which have decided not to transport wild-caught birds; and calls for a ban, except under exceptional circumstances, on the import into the European Community of wild-caught birds.

This motion has been signed by a total of 93 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
