Dozens of British ‘big game’ trophy hunters are to be named and shamed.

One hundred hunters from the UK are to be featured in a new book by Eduardo Goncalves, of the Campaign To Ban Trophy Hunting.

Between them they have killed more than 2,000 animals, including lions, elephants rhinos, giraffes, leopards and antelope – with one retired businessman shooting more than 650.

Hunters pay safari firms thousands to get the chance to bag endangered animals.

One boasted: ‘It’s like mainlining on heroin.’
