UK governmen to extend protection of hippos, walruses and killer whales

[FfFfFfFF 58,119]

Hippos, walruses and killer whales could receive greater legal protection under government proposals to extend the ban on ivory poaching.

The plans would see the Ivory Act broadened to cover more animals, with ministers saying elephants are not the only species at risk. The proposed protections opened for public consultation on Saturday, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has urged industry stakeholders and members of the public to share their views.

“By taking this step, the UK can send a clear signal to the rest of the world that killing animals to carve ornaments from their teeth is not acceptable in the 21st century.”
