Canned Lion Hunting

EDM number 2023 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 13/10/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Animal welfare.

That this House condemns the practice of canned lion hunting in South Africa; notes that an estimated 1,000 lions annually are bred specifically to be killed in unethical canned hunts; denounces the barbaric treatment and conditions the lionesses and cubs are subjected to before they reach maturity; notes with concern that canned hunting was banned in 2006 but that successive legal appeals have allowed breeders to continue making money whilst the ban is suspended; acknowledges the work of charities such as Born Free that have been fiercely campaigning for the matter to be addressed with urgency; and calls on the South African government to commit to enforcing the 2006 legislation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 61 MPs.
