Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have recorded a video for the Ban Trophy Hunting organisation.

Founded in 2018, the campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting is Britain and the world’s leading organisation working to abolish all types of trophy hunting.

The newly launched Ban Trophy Hunting video is aimed at the UK government and it features Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne wearing a T-shirt that Ozzy has exclusively designed for the campaign.

A determined-looking Ozzy tells viewers: “I’m Ozzy Osbourne. Let’s get trophy hunting banned…. Let’s get trophy hunting banned. Come on guys!”

Sharon says: “Come on your guys. All we do is talk about it. Let’s get it done. Let’s get the ban done.

“See this shirt? My husband designed this. You can buy it online, the money goes to the cause. Please, let’s get it banned now!”

In a separate statement explaining why he’s supporting the campaign, Ozzy said: "Trophy hunters are totally crazy. 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!”

Costing £20, Ozzy’s T-shirt is available to purchase here.

A description reads: ‘The Ozzy Osbourne "Ban Trophy Hunting" tee combines powerful imagery with a call for animal rights, featuring a striking illustration of a lion that embodies strength and resilience.

‘With its bold design, the shirt merges Osbourne’s iconic style with a strong anti-trophy hunting message, making a statement that resonates with his fans and advocates for wildlife protection.’
