Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have launched a t-shirt to raise awareness and funds for Ban Trophy Hunting, the organisation that lobbies to abolish all trophy hunting and is currently calling for the UK government to prevent hunters from bringing home the animals they’ve killed back into the country.
“Trophy hunters are totally crazy,” says Ozzy. “You’ve got to be barking to kill an innocent animal and then take photos of yourself laughing about it.
“We’ve all got to do our bit. I like to design things so I’ve done a t-shirt for the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting. The government said it would ban hunting trophies, so get on with it! Tell your MP you want it banned right now! Get yourself an Ozzy t-shirt for Christmas and help save the animals!”

“Ozzy and I are big supporters of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting,” adds Sharon. “We really hope everyone buys this t-shirt and help raise funds to fight these awful people.

“I can’t think of anything more sickening than killing an animal just for the fun of it and then putting its head up in your living room. I honestly thought those days had gone. Let’s make trophy hunting extinct, not wildlife. Support the campaign and tell the politicians you want the ban done today not tomorrow.
“We’ve done a special edition of personally signed t-shirts which will be auctioned off. It’s really important that everyone gets behind this campaign. Let’s give wildlife the best Christmas gift of all – a future free of these sick maniacs.”
The t-shirt is available now in nine different sizes and six difference colours, each sporting Ozzy’s design, which is described as combining “powerful imagery with a call for animal rights, featuring a striking illustration of a lion that embodies strength and resilience.”

A ban on the import of trophies is in the Labour Party manifesto and has cross-parliamentary support, so campaigners are hopeful that a law implementing a ban will be passed quickly. The Ban Trophy Hunting group claims that 1.7 million trophies have been taken from animals in the last decade, with more than 200,000 of them from endangered species.

Challenging Penned Dog Hunting Under Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights

| A pack of dogs pursues a coyote in a penned dog hunting facility in Ontario. Photo captured during an Animal Justice investigation. Dear Gail, The fight continues to stop the horrifying bloodsport of penned dog hunting in Ontario—where hunters send dogs after caged coyotes, foxes, and rabbits. Today, Animal Justice and Coyote Watch Canada filed an application for review of penned dog hunting under Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights—a cornerstone law that gives citizens the right to request a review when a law or policy needs to be improved to protect the environment. This fall, Ontario bowed down to dog hunting extremists and reversed a ban on new dog hunting pens, which had been in place since 1997. The province is now allowing hunters to open up new violent “train and trial” areas. Ontario is the only Canadian province where this sickening practice is legal, and it’s been banned in most US states. We’re requesting the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to review and revoke the new regulations, and to close down all existing penned dog hunting areas. These pens directly conflict with Ontario’s animal welfare legislation and the federal Criminal Code, which both prohibit organized animal fighting—something that frequently occurs in these pens.Penned dog hunting also poses a serious public health risk, due to a tapeworm found in wild coyote populations that can spread to dogs and humans. The parasite often goes undetected for years in humans and can cause fatal tumors. Last year, Animal Justice released a shocking investigation from a dog hunting pen, showing terrified coyotes running for their lives with nowhere to escape, and hunters threatening violence toward dogs who aren’t aggressive enough. We caught hunters admitting on camera that dogs frequently maul and kill the captive wild animals they use as bait—contrary to what hunters told lawmakers. We can’t let this horrifying practice continue. Coyotes, foxes, and rabbits need protection from this violent bloodsport! Please join us in calling on the Ontario government to NOT issue new penned dog hunting licenses, and to close the last remaining dog hunting pens in the province.Stop Penned Dog Hunting NowThank you for speaking up for wildlife! We’ll keep you updated on the next steps in our fight to stop the hunts. In gratitude, Kaitlyn Mitchell Director of Legal Advocacy |
