What the petition asks
The Capreolus Club has been given exclusive rights from the City of London to hunt deer in 2,000 acres of Epping Forest. Members will be able to shoot rifles in areas which are open to the public. Please sign if you do not agree with this practice and would like to see it banned.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This decision was taken by the City of London Corporation, not the Government or Parliament.
