That this House notes with concern that the United Kingdom is still importing hunting trophies; further notes that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Trade Database shows that in 2024 such imports included trophies from Appendix I-listed species, among the most endangered in the world, including African elephants, leopards and black rhinoceroses; also notes that imports were licensed from a wide range of other species, including lions, giraffes, hippopotamuses, white rhinoceroses, bears, crocodiles, primates such as baboons and vervet monkeys, zebra, wolves, servals, caracals, civets and even a honey badger; recognises that the data demonstrates the continued import of significant numbers of trophies from iconic and ecologically important species, including at least 18 giraffes, over a dozen lions, and multiple primate and antelope species; is concerned that these trophies include both wild-sourced and captive-bred animals, including those associated with so-called canned hunting; acknowledges that opinion polls show the British public support an immediate and comprehensive ban on trophy hunting imports; notes that a Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs consultation found that 86% of over 44,000 respondents supported a total ban on the import of hunting trophies; commends the work of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting and coalition partner organisations, including Campaign Against Trophy and Canned Hunting, in investigating the industry and raising awareness of the impacts of trophy hunting; and further recognises that the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill has previously passed all stages in the House.

That this House condemns the grindadráp (Grind) in the Faroe Islands, where pods of dolphins are driven into bays by small boats and slaughtered by hand; notes with concern that more than 1,000 cetaceans were killed in 2025, including juveniles and pregnant females; further notes that this practice is largely unregulated; recognises that cultural norms cannot justify the extreme suffering inflicted on highly sentient marine mammals; acknowledges the efforts of the Stop the Grind initiative in advocating to end to this practice; urges the Government to continue to raise this issue with the Faroese authorities, and call for an immediate end of the grindadráp; further urges the Government to review the terms of the free trade agreement with the Faroe Islands if swift action is not forthcoming; and calls for country-of-origin labelling of Faroese fish products to be mandated to enable consumers to make informed choices.

That this House notes CITES data and investigations by the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting published in the national media showing British trophy hunters are killing and bringing home trophies of threatened species including African elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, hippopotamuses, zebras, wolves, monkeys, wild cats, lynxes, cougars, bears, and African civets; further notes that several parties made election pledges to ban hunting trophies in their manifestos, including the Government; acknowledges that a Private Members Bill drafted by the previous Government enjoyed strong cross-party support and passed unanimously in the House; recognises that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs conducted an extensive public consultation exercise involving 44,000 stakeholders, 86% of whom back a trophy import ban, that opinion polls show overwhelming voter support for an immediate and comprehensive ban; and strongly urges the Government to now bring forward a Bill in Government time which implements a world-leading ban without any further delay.

That this House notes that the UK Government has condemned the Canadian commercial seal hunt; believes that the hunt is cruel and unnecessary; resasserts the democratic right of independent observers from animal welfare groups to film the hunt in the interests of public scrutiny; is concerned that the Canadian government is attempting to obstruct and hinder future observation through proposed amendments to the law; is further concerned that the Canadian authorities have arrested and put on trial five observers of the 2006 hunt, including a UK citizen, Mark Glover, from Respect for Animals; and calls on the the UK Government to register its protest over Canada's conduct in this matter.

That this House supports the `Tell Japan We'll Keep The Ban' campaign led by the Environmental Investigation Agency; welcomes the campaign to keep the international moratorium on commercial whaling and the efforts to convince six Caribbean countries (Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and St Vincent and The Grenadines) to change their present positions through a television advertising campaign in those countries; notes that in 2005-06 Japan, Norway and Iceland caught 1,921 Minke, Sei, Bryde's, Fin and Sperm whales under special `scientific' permit or under objection to the moratorium; further notes that Japan, Norway and Iceland intended to catch 2,500 whales in the 2006-07 period; recognises the need to protect whales; further recognises the importance of ensuring that at the May 2007 International Whaling Commission meeting in Anchorage there are a majority of countries present and voting in support of maintaining the international moratorium; and therefore urges the Government to continue to lobby members of the International Whaling Commission to resist attempts by the pro-whaling group of countries, led by Japan, to gain a majority in favour of a resumption of commercial whaling.

That this House notes with concern current moves by pro-whaling nations to overturn a ban on commercial whaling; notes that population levels of certain whale species worldwide remain at biologically unsustainable levels; deplores the tactics used by the Japanese government to gain support for the removal of the ban from Caribbean and African nations through the use of aid; notes that no pro-whaling nations have sustainable markets for the meat, and consumption is falling; and calls on the UK Government to work closely with other international partners to oppose any moves to return to commercial whaling at the International Whaling Commission meeting on 28th May in Alaska.

That this House notes that while there have been 90 million experiments on animals since 1979, and not one single debate in the House on the issue, the House has spent more than 250 hours since 1997 alone debating hunting with dogs; further notes that in Business Questions on 11th January 2007, the Leader of the House promised to `do his best' to provide time for a debate on the latest Animal Procedures Committee report; and calls upon the Government urgently to allocate Government time for the first ever debate on the floor of the House to discuss the work of the Committee.

That this House notes with concern that for the first time the pro-whaling alliance won a majority of support at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) voting to end the 20 year old whaling moratorium; recognises that to end the moratorium a majority of 75 per cent. is required and that the 51 per cent. majority secured is a major shift in the IWC stance; condemns the actions of Japan and other whaling nations such as Norway and Iceland who have campaigned to secure the votes of small African and Caribbean countries in exchange for multi-million dollar foreign aid packages; and calls on members of the IWC to put the interests of many and often rare species of whale ahead of narrow self-interest.

That this House condemns those countries who voted in favour of the resumption of whaling at the International Whaling Commission meeting at St Kitts and Nevis; strongly opposes their view that the current moratorium is invalid and that whales are responsible for depleting the fish stocks of poor countries and their condemnation of the efforts of environmental pressure groups in highlighting the bad practices of those countries that flouted the moratorium; acknowledges that in the Caribbean, which mostly voted in favour of the resolution, a recent WWF poll shows that up to 79 per cent. of respondents are against whaling; notes that the whale-watching eco-tourism industry is worth an approximate $1 billion a year; further notes that the whale population is down to a fifth of its former strength with many species still on the endangered list; urges the countries who most vehemently pushed for the resolution including Japan, Norway and Iceland to listen to the international clamour against whaling; further notes that those countries wishing to reintroduce whaling failed to get the required 75 per cent. majority; and calls on these countries to desist from any whaling activities.
