uin	HL15102
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s policy is that individuals should be free to manage wildlife within the law. The decision on whether or not to control foxes lies with the owner or occupier of the property where the problem occurs.</p><p> </p><p>As a result, the Government does not collect data on the number of foxes killed or how they are killed. However, in 2000 the Burns Report estimated that 400,000 foxes die each year in Britain – on roads, shot or through natural causes.</p><p> </p><p>The Government would always encourage those considering taking management action to try preventative strategies to deter foxes. However, we recognise it may be necessary to cull individual animals who are causing persistent problems. Natural England provides detailed advice on the humane and legal management of foxes to help owners and occupiers protect their property from damage.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 24/04/2019 12:44:41 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to introduce legislation to ban the import of animal trophies into the United Kingdom, particularly trophies from endangered species.
tabling member printed	Lord Hanningfield
uin	HL1898
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>Under international rules set by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, a hunting trophy of an endangered species can only be exported if the exporting country is satisfied that the hunt was both legal and sustainable in terms of its impact on the overall population of the species in that country.</p><p>However, in light of growing concerns about the sustainability of the hunting of some species, we have worked within the EU to introduce stricter controls on the import of hunting trophies of particular species. This requires the importing country to also carry out an assessment of the sustainability of the hunt. In this way the import of hunting trophies of certain species from certain countries is currently prohibited by the EU.</p><p>The Government considers that properly managed, legal and sustainable trophy hunting can play a part in species conservation efforts, including providing an important source of funding for some countries. As such we have no plans to introduce legislation banning the import of all animal trophies, but we will continue to monitor the impact of trophy hunting and will work with the EU and our international partners to put in place greater protection, including prohibiting imports, where this is shown to be needed.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 16/09/2015 13:27:07 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
