Animal Products: Import Controls
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what were the species of the 28 hunting trophies for which import permits were granted by her Department between 1 July 2024 and 25 March 2026.
Answered by Mary Creagh
The species of the 28 import permits issued under purpose H (- Hunting Trophies) between 1 July 2024 and 25 March 2026 were as follows:
- Crocodylus niloticus
- Giraffa camelopardalis
- Hippopotamus amphibius (x 4)
- Loxodonta Africana (x 16)
- Panthera leo
- Ursus americanus (x 3)
- Ursus arctos (x 2)
It is important to note that a single permit does not necessarily correspond to a single animal; in some cases, multiple CITES permits may be required for an individual animal.
