What the petition asks
Dr Brian May calls for Cecil’s Law.
The world was outraged by the illegal slaughter of Cecil the lion, who was lured to his death through illegal hunting. Together with the government, we can deliver Cecil’s Law to the UK, and set an example to the world.

Britain has allowed the importation of lion trophies with the correct paperwork. Over 1000 lions are bred and slaughtered as trophies every year in South Africa alone. Please sign and share our petition today with friends, family and decision makers. Make Cecil's legacy Cecil's Law.
