Revoke the licence to shoot Scottish feral cats.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Capturing and shooting feral cats and, wild cats which are not thoroughbred has been passed by parliament. This is being funded by the tax payer and National Lottery funding.

This is a snippet from the licence which condones this practice.
"Any individuals which are obviously feral domestic cats will be dispatched according to standard
predator control practices, by the land manager, with appropriate firearm in one shot with
minimal time to death. The Wildcat Project Officer will be notified about such individuals and
cadavers will be collected for genetic and veterinary screening, within 3 days."
