What the petition asks
Big game hunting is classified as sport and the end result as 'trophies'. There is no need for it and it is morally ugly. Africa is not the only continent on which this takes place but, in the public eye, it is foremost, and effective sanctions may influence governments elsewhere in the world.
I am a British citizen with a doctorate in philosophy. I live in Costa Rica, where the killing of any wildlife is illegal.
