This is the type of bullshit we simply have to call out. And not just because that isn't a deer. Why are so many people that claim to love nature so so ignorant of it? So many "animal lovers" seem to misunderstand animals and nature.

The Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibtion) Bill is dead. A pity. If those pushing it had accepted conservation ammendments it would've passed & done good. But ideology wouldn't be swayed and it died. It was never about conservation. Never about wildlife. Never about communities.

@AustinFarle @DrJonMillett @ecoevoenviro I would bet that most of the people who spend large amounts of money to hunt and kill 'exotic' animals, also kill lots of more common animals inexpensively. If it was only about the hunt, why not take up wildlife photography? They could save themselves a lot of money.

I discuss this issue in The Deadly Balance - it is easy to dismiss numbers to predator loss when they aren't your animals, or talk compensation when you neither write nor cash the cheque

So. We’re likely talking primarily about ‘sheep’ not ‘livestock’ here. 12,000 kills = 0.18% of the 🇫🇷 national flock. For the 🇬🇧 that would = c.60,000 sheep/year. Even 0.03% of the UK flock = c10,000 kills. Easy to dismiss when it’s not your flock.

Glad I did this before the wind came. Close to 200m2 of roof membraned and battened. It is a warm roof - hence you can see insulation boards. It has been a long few months of work and worry getting to this point. Saved a lot on labour though. I'm adding roofing to my CV

This is the sort of asinine nonsense that caused the trophy import ban to fail... They won't learn

Can you believe there are people who support the killing of wild, endangered animals by blocking legislation that would protect them from becoming trophies? It’s almost unfathomable, isn’t it? Please sign this URGENT petition and help us #GetTheBanDone ➡️

So there’s this one tattoo design that’s pretty popular. A wolf face on one side and a skull on the other side. I love this tattoo design because the message behind it is just so unintentionally GREAT....🧵

@HsaChair The bubal hartebeest was largely wiped out by the French military. Mammoths weren't driven extinction by human hunters Javan tigers were essentially wiped out by agricultural expansion and "pest control" The dodo was taken easily as food - hardly "hunters"

More misinformation- more than 60 peers wrote to oppose this Bill.and that was just Tory peers. It is a waste of parliamentary time pushing this harmful approach again.

Thank you John @Spellar MP for championing a new Private Member’s Bill to ban hunting trophy imports and taking a stand against this horrific practice. The last Bill was deliberately wrecked by a handful of pro-hunting Lords. This time the Government must finally #GetTheBanDone

A long but important read regarding the well publicised killing of an elephant in South Africa a couple of weeks ago. I suspect those that most need to read it won't, but here is is...
