Petition for Raptor Protection

FUDGEY · #1 (**permalink**) 20-11-2011, 04:17 AM

Please take 30 seconds of your time to fill out this petition if you think this needs debating in the house of commons. They need 100,000 signatures. Also could you please post it on other like minded forums and if you have a Facebook account share it on there also. Thanks to every one that does, Im sick to the back teeth of cases or persecution.

The North West Raptor Protection Group supports an e-petition in an attempt to provide improved protection for England?s Raptors. | Raptor Politics

Signed it of course!

The persecution sickens me too. I find it so sad that in amongst all the wonderful work and success strories in creating the right habitat etc for some species, we are watching other species being destroyed because of deliberate human acts.

Thank for mentioning it here Fudgey.

Cheers,

Bryan

Signed but no rant. Let's hope we get stronger deterrents to protect these iconic birds.

personally I dont think 'raptor politics' are helping the situation - remember all that xexexexe earlier in the year between them and the northumbria WLO, so no I wont be signing their petition

and as it happens raptors dont need more protection they are fully protected under the Wildlife and countryside Act 1981 as ammended by Countryside and Rights of way act 2000 anyway, so theres no need for it to be debated in the house , and in fact such debate is undesirable as it will just provide a vehicle thate muppets like songbird survival will use to present their distorted 'other side of the coin'
