Save our wildlife - if we don't no-one will

New and important petition from Onekind.

Onekind Petition, closes November 13th, sign it now here

The focus of the review called for in this petition should be:

• The ethics and sustainability of the routine and repeated killing of the same species in the same location;
• The case for banning snares, Larsen traps and certain other types of live traps outright, on animal welfare grounds;
• The animal welfare issues surrounding lethal traps such as spring traps, both approved and non-approved categories;
• Mechanisms to ensure proper scrutiny of all practices undertaken by hunters, shooters and trappers and only to permit the use of traps under exceptional circumstances; and
• Whether activities closely associated with causing unnecessary suffering by means of trapping and snaring, such as driven grouse shooting, should be banned.


The last five photos I took before my dodgy eye flared up, and I moved indoors to create and edit an information guide to detail Birdwatching sites where disabled access exists in one form or another.

Didn't like me looking down on it even though it could only see the top of my head and camera
