CAMPAIGN TO BAN TROPHY HUNTING Special Report The U.K. hunter who has shot more wildlife than the killer of Cecil the Lion SUMMARY The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting is revealing the identity of a British man who has killed wild animals in 5 continents, and is considered to be among the world’s ‘elite’ in the global trophy hunting industry. Malcolm W King has won a staggering 36 top awards with Safari Club International (SCI), and has at least 125 entries in SCI’s Records Book. The combined number of animals required for the awards won by King is 528. Among his awards are prizes for shooting African ‘Big Game’, wild cats, and bears. King has also shot wild sheep, goats, deer and oxen around the world. His exploits have taken him to Asia, Africa and the South Pacific, as well as across Europe. The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting estimates that around 1.7 million animals have been killed by trophy hunters over the past decade, of which over 200,000 were endangered species. Lions are among those species that could be pushed to extinction by trophy hunting. An estimated 10,000 lions have been killed by ‘recreational’ hunters in the last decade. Latest estimates for the African lion population put numbers at around 20,000, with some saying they could be as low as 13,000. Industry groups like Safari Club International promote prizes which actively encourage hunters to kill huge numbers of endangered animals. The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting believes that trophy hunting is an aberration in a civilised society. We believe it is cruel, immoral and archaic, and is doing untold damage to endangered wildlife. The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting has launched a global campaign to close the loophole in CITES - the international law meant to protect endangered wildlife - which currently allows trophy hunters to kill even the most vulnerable animals: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/close-the-loophole-that-allows-hunters-to-kill-endangered- wildlife?source=direct_link& In the U.K., the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting and Zac Goldsmith MP have tabled EDM 1829 calling for a U.K. ban on trophy imports which has won cross-party support from 159 MPs including an unprecedented 4 Westminster party leaders and the chairman of the Conservative 1922 backbench committee: https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/52304 ​ For more information visit www.bantrophyhunting.org ​ Malcolm King’s hunting victims Malcolm King has won: - 4 Safari Club International ‘Continental Awards’ for hunting in the South Pacific, Asia, Europe and Africa; - 7 Safari Club International ‘Grand Slam Awards’ including the “Africa 29” (minimum 29 different species), “Dangerous Game of Africa” (minimum 5 different species), “Cats of the World” (minimum 4 different species) and “Bears of the World” (minimum 5 different species); - 25 Safari Club International “Inner Circle Awards” including the ‘Hunting Achievement Award (Diamond - minimum 125 SCI Record Book entries), the ‘Global Hunting Award’ (Gold - minimum 50 different species), and ’Animals of Africa’ (Gold - minimum 61 different species).
