Trophy hunting was invented by white colonial authorities in Africa. The vast majority of Trophy Hunters today are wealthy, white Westerners. The vast majority of private landowners on whose estates trophy hunting takes place are white and wealthy. The vast majority of the owners of trophy hunting companies are wealthy and white – many of them making millions of dollars a year. The trophy hunting industry, its lobby groups and PR firms are all the preserve of a tiny minority white elite.
A new report by the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting explodes the myths – and disinformation – spread by the trophy hunting industry that a UK of hunting trophy imports is somehow ‘neo-colonialist’.
