The independent sample survey by YouGov2 of over 7000 Europeans from five countries, shows that a majority of EU citizens accept hunting. Only 23% disagree with keeping animal parts, a practice often referred to as “trophy” hunting, whilst 77% either approve or are neutral.
This starkly contrasts the claim that 85% of Europeans oppose “trophy” hunting made by the Humane Society International3. Their misdirection has resulted in several national parliaments initiating efforts to ban “trophy” imports.
The survey, conducted in November 2023, aimed to ascertain unbiased public opinion on the social acceptance of domestic and international hunting. A focus was on the retention of animal parts (e.g. horns, antlers, etc.) as well as the acceptance of legal hunting that benefits conservation.
These findings challenge a narrow perception of hunting as solely targeting "trophies” of charismatic species, as often propagated by animal rights organisations.
Therefore, bans or restrictions on the movement of legally obtained “trophies” are not supported by society, and negatively impact local communities, economies, and biodiversity.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) briefing paper,4 states that “trophy hunting…can and does generate critically needed incentives and revenue for government, private and community landowners to maintain and restore wildlife as a land use and to carry out conservation actions”
For the complete report on the public attitude toward “trophy” hunting, see here.
