Short Truths 25 || What’s the deal with the Australian trophy ban?

Robbie goes off the cuff about an “election promise” by the federal Labor government suggesting a ban on trophies from 20 different animals, ranging from black bears to giraffes. Australia has already banned the importation of elephant, rhino, and lion trophies, so the basic question one has to ask oneself is: Why? Let’s call it what it is—a cynical and damaging push by the anti-hunter, anti–sustainable-use sector of Australia’s political wing. Learn all about the benefits of hunting and the amazing work hunters are truly doing on the ground in these “trophy destinations” right here in this episode of Short Truths—in just eight minutes.
