What the petition asks
To stop the government restricting fieldsports
The government must not put further restrictions on Game shooting and fieldsports. If they do this will cause the rural economy to suffer dramatically.
The rural economy earns millions of pounds from game shooting, through thousands of UK citizens participating and sportsmen from abroad.
Apart from the financial loss to the economy, this is a restriction on sportsmen human rights.
