| Subject: OZschwitz slave pen: Trophy hunters banned from bringing home rhino parts as idiotic MP Jason Wood fights 'barbaric' canned hunting Thu Jul 03, 2014 3:17 am | |
| Australians who travel overseas to hunt rhinoceroses will no longer be allowed to bring home their slaughter.
The Federal Government has issued a ban on all rhino body parts being imported into the country in response to a backbencher's campaign against canned hunting.
Canned hunting is a legal practice where animals like lions and rhinos are bred and farmed overseas for the sole purpose of being hunted in captivity.
Environment Minister Greg Hunt has told the ABC the Government does not believe animal trophies killed in canned hunts should be allowed into Australia.
"It's just not right at this time in history that we are allowing endangered species to be brought back as trophies into Australia," he said.
