chartpolski 20,379 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I don't think the ban will affect me, I've only ever brought a couple of shark jaws from the Red Sea and a couple of Wild Boar jaws from New Zealand. I cant envisage me ever wanting to import lion, polar bear, hippo or anything like that, but there's supposed to be 6,000 animals on the list, a lot of them not endangered, including reindeer. When my missus was north of the Arctic circle last year I wanted her to bring a reindeer pelt back, but she didn't. I was hoping to get a couple in the future for the man cave, but looks like the ban may affect me after all ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,029 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I reckon due to the low number of people it will affect it will be easy for them to shut it down which is wrong. Another nail 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,814 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I've always wanted to hunt Cape buffalo. Once in a lifetime. Knowing I can't ever bring the horns home to remember the experience I don't think I ever would. It's weird how 'trophy hunting' has become excepted as something that actually happens. I know loads of people who have heads on the wall but non hunted simply for a big head on a wall. This image of a rich hunter who shoots something just to have a trophy doesn't exist in real life. People hunt for the full experience and a trophy is a chance to remember that experience for the rest of your life. I'm not sure why the cities permits that allowed legally sourced trophies and natural history specimens wasn't enough 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A petition to stop fox hunts , ( drag hunting, not REAL foxes), from operating near built up areas, had reached over 100,000, so now has to be, by law, debated in parliament. Another nail in the coffin........... Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knowing I can't ever bring the horns home to remember the experience I don't think I ever would. I think I agree, but then they win.... Cape Buff is beyond my means, but if I was able to justify a lavish no expense spared trip to Africa, then I'd certainly be looking for one. The sort of stuff that'll be likely to draw me to the Dark Continent is considered 'least concern' by the IUCN, so potentially importable after this ban, whatever it may look like when finally passed.
