Default Theresa May introduces new bans on the ivory trade


Credit where credit's due. Good to see some nice policies coming out of Number 10.

Still needs to bring more animal welfare policies in - but she's doing a good job on this front if I do say so myself!

Sis needs to sort out her conflicting views since she wants to hunt but is also supporting animal welfare.

A harsher approach to the Ivory trade Long overdue but I doubt it'll do anything to stem the illegal trade or the loophole filled trade that currently happens in the UK unless those loopholes are addressed.

If they truly wish to put paid to the Ivory trade then they need to clamp down on both ends since most of the trade in the UK is already illegal so unless this move has answers for that then it's just a gesture rather than an answer.

Good. Probably felt like she had to do something after accidentally letting her pro fox hunting views slip. Cant imagine anyone will be mad about this.

I wouldn't believe everything I read if I were you she is happy to keep the hunting ban,now she just needs to enforce it.

A great and positive move by Theresa May.

Good for Mrs May. I'm actually more pleased to hear that China is going to lay down harsher laws.

Yes I heard this,it is a good move ,I hope it's not too little to late. I just don't know why they don't paint the tusks of elephants and rhinos with the pink stuff that renders them worthless,that way the animals survive and the tusks are worthless, I wonder why that hasn't been used on them all?
