Ban on imports of animal hunting trophies set to become law

Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill is likely to become law as it has the support of the government.

Every year, hunters from the UK travel abroad, often to southern Africa, to legally shoot animals.

With the right paperwork, hunters can bring trophies, such as stuffed heads or horns, back to the UK.

Critics say profits from hunting are used to pay for conservation projects in African countries.
