Do not introduce licensing for gamebird shooting

Open for signatures 33 signatures

What the petition asks

We think sustainable game shooting is making a major contribution to nature recovery and rural livelihoods across the UK.
Imposing layers of licensing and further red tape - as the government is exploring - is unnecessary and would be damaging to shooting and conservation.
