Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lindsay Hoyle (Labour), on Tuesday, 23 March 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 83 members in total.
BUSHMEAT AND SIMIAN FOAMING VIRUS
That this House notes with concern the growing demand for illegal bushmeat and the discovery of simian foaming virus (SFV) in humans who have fed on infected ape flesh; recognises that SFV was originally detected in monkeys and the transfer to humans makes bushmeat extremely dangerous; further notes that thousands of apes, gorillas and other animals are killed in order to supply the bushmeat trade; and calls on the Government to take action against those involved in the illegal bushmeat trade in order to protect animals and human health.
