Sack Michael gove for his part in the revoke of the general licence

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Michael gove has taken the guidence of television presenter and activist Chris packham to over night have the general licence for the control of pigoen, corvids and Canada geese revoked.
This will have a major negative effect on the ecology of the uk's song bird population for generations
The revoke of general licence should have been debated by MP's and conservationists but not activists against countryside life,work and management amongst other things.
Along with the effect on the song bird population it will also carry a major effect within farming due to lambs and sheep having their eyes pecked out and in turn being put to sleep.
