Do not ban catapults or slingshots

Closed 476 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the Government to commit to not banning catapults and slingshots. Instead laws on harming wildlife could be strengthened. Catapulting is a hobby for many people and we don’t want to be punished for using them.
