Support Sally's Law

As the final stage of Henry Smith MP's Bill to ban trophy hunting imports into the United Kingdom approaches, the trophy hunting industry has launched a massive disinformation campaign.

To counter this, a new film produced by the Founder of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting, Eduardo Goncalves, exposes the brutal nature of trophy hunting and the people involved in its execution.

Saving Sally is the dramatic story of an undercover investigation by the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting into hunting companies that are rearing tiger cubs for trophy hunters to shoot in enclosures. It also tells the extraordinary story of the group's attempt to rescue a young tiger called Sally from their clutches.

The film is being released as Members of Parliament in Britain prepare to vote on a bill that would stop trophy hunters from bringing home the heads and bodies of animals they have shot for "fun."

Campaigners have dubbed the bill "Sally's Law" to draw attention to the fact that British trophy hunters are shooting some of the world's most endangered species for trophies, including lions, elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, polar bears, and cheetahs.

Investigations by the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting have previously revealed how British trophy hunters have won prizes from the American gun lobby for their exploits, including single-handedly killing hundreds of animals.

Opinion polls show that a ban is supported by 9 out of 10 voters. However, the Commons debate is scheduled for a Friday when most MPs are in their local constituencies rather than in Parliament, which could block the ban from becoming law.

Meanwhile, the American gun lobby and its allies are working furiously behind the scenes to stop the bill in its tracks.

If you are in the UK, please encourage your local MP to vote for Henry Smith's Bill to ban trophy hunting imports on March 17th 2023.

Dear {firstName} {lastName},

URGENT Re Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill – March 17

You may be under the mistaken impression this bill will pass “on the nod” on March 17 because it has government support. In actual fact, a hostile amendment is being tabled which will wreck it and make the ban meaningless.

A minimum of 42 MPs are needed to vote against it. At present, barely half this number have said they are coming.

We need you to make your way to the House of Commons on March 17 to help ensure this bill becomes law.

Not only is it supported by the vast majority of your constituents: a brand new Survation poll shows that over 8 out of 10 of your constituents, including myself, insist that you come to the chamber on this day.

Please confirm that you WILL definitely be in the House of Commons on Friday 17 March to ensure this bill passes. The debate is the first item on the agenda, so you will still have time to attend constituency engagements afterwards.

Yours sincerely,
{firstName} {lastName}

PS We need this bill NOW. It was in 2019 election manifestos, 4 Queen’s Speeches, and has been promised by a succession of Prime Ministers and Ministers. The public consultation – which 44,000 stakeholders took part in, of which 85% supported a ban - concluded OVER 3 YEARS ago. Please tell me you will be attending the debate on March 17. Thank you.

Say No to Trophy Hunting: Take Action and Write to Your MP Today!

British trophy hunters have earned a reputation as some of the worst in the world, shooting tame lions in enclosures, defenceless giraffes, monkeys and endangered animals like elephants, cheetahs and polar bears. Some hunters even win awards for killing over 125 species of animals.

  • A British woman was even voted the world's top female hunter after shooting some of the largest lions and elephants ever known.
  • British-owned companies are also offering "holidays" where people can shoot cheetahs. The American gun lobby and associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin have been financing campaigns to block a British ban on trophy hunting.

We urge you to take action and write to your MP today. Follow these simple steps to let them know you want them to support the ban and turn up to vote for it.
