What the petition asks
The recent killing of a Cecil the lion by a fee paying hunter has highlighted the plight of wild animals. The UK Government can issue licences to import animal heads, pelts etc. as "trophies." The issuing of these licences and the subsequent import of animals as trophies should be stopped now..
