(Related: why the badger cull laws may mean the species remains in the firing line.) The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) described the UK’s impending ban as “among the toughest in the world,” and said it will protect a range of species including nearly 6,000 animals threatened by international trade, and an additional 1,000 species whose status is judged to be near-threatened or worse. In May of this year, South Africa unveiled plans to terminate its multimillion-dollar lion-breeding industry, which supplies lions for trophy hunts as well as for tourism and traditional medicine.
Protecting 6,000 speciesįrance and Australia both banned the import and export of lion hunting trophies in 2015, and the Netherlands banned trophy imports of over 200 species in 2016. A key member of the APPG and author of the most recent parliamentary motion was the late Sir David Amess, who was murdered in his constituency in October 2021. In 2019 alone, UK hunters brought back the tusks and bones of 15 African elephants the skins and skulls of 34 baboons 27 trophies from hippos, including teeth and tusks and 12 leopard and 12 lion trophies, says the APPG.Īt the end of 2019 the Government did launch a consultation on trophy hunting, in which 86% of the 44,000 respondents called for a ban, but no action was subsequently taken.

The group launched in July 2021, on the anniversary of the infamous shooting of Cecil the lion, to pressure the Conservative government to honour its 2019 manifesto commitment to ban trophies of endangered species. Since 2015, British hunters have brought home about 5,000 hunting trophies, including 996 from endangered species, according to the All-Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Banning Trophy Hunting. Here's how you can watch the festivities on Friday.The British Government today announced plans to ban the importing of hunting trophies, as part of a conservation initiative to protect endangered animals. You're not going to get a major championship level of golf, nor are you going to get the barbs you were promised - doing stand up and playing world class golf at the same time is difficult, and the only person who seemingly can pull it off at the same time will be in the booth on Friday - but Koepka-DeChambeau should still be a nice treat as we head into a winter bereft of quality golf. Lefty won that matchup, and the three subsequent outings have been, I have to say, a success. This marks the third anniversary of the first version of this event between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson during Thanksgiving 2018. Phil Mickelson and Charles Barkley will be two of the four broadcasters on the call, and where DeChambeau and Koepka often lack in legitimately compelling trash talk, Mickelson and Barkley do not. If DeChambeau and Koepka are not exactly your speed, then there's an even better treat awaiting those who tune into TNT at 4 p.m. The DeChambeau-Koepka feud is well-documented at this point, and though their 12-hole match on Friday in Vegas will not necessarily solve any past grievances, it should still be a fun way to pass the post-turkey time on Friday afternoon.
As a follow-up to Thanksgiving and a prelude to all the football this weekend, The Match 5 will take place on Friday in Las Vegas, featuring rivals Bryson DeChambeu and Brooks Koepka.
