Celebrities Unite Against Trophy Hunting
- Ricky Gervais and other British stars join forces to combat trophy hunting.
- Campaign aims to raise awareness about the cruelty of trophy hunting practices.
- Celebrities advocate for halting sickening and deranged actions of trophy hunters.
In a significant move to combat trophy hunting, some of Britain's most prominent celebrities have joined forces with comedian Ricky Gervais to raise awareness about the issue. Each year, British hunters contribute to the decline of endangered species, including lions, elephants, and polar bears. To support the cause, Gervais has designed an exclusive T-shirt as part of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (CBTH), with proceeds aimed at highlighting the need for legislative change. The T-shirts and hoodies, crafted from organic cotton and produced using renewable energy, serve as a sustainable way to promote the campaign. Scottish TV presenter Lorraine Kelly showcased her support by sharing a photo of herself wearing the T-shirt on social media, amplifying the campaign's visibility. Currently, UK legislation permits the importation of animal remains for taxidermy and decorative purposes, a practice Gervais vehemently opposes. Gervais expressed his strong disapproval of trophy hunting, stating, "There are few things as immoral as shooting an animal just for fun." He emphasized the need to end this practice, which he believes is not limited to a specific demographic, highlighting the broader implications of such actions on endangered species like elephants. Eduardo Goncalves, founder of the CBTH, praised Gervais for his advocacy, noting his powerful voice in exposing the cruelty of trophy hunting. The campaign aims to raise awareness and ultimately end this controversial practice. For more information, visit the campaign's official store.
