Another 1000 this week – now past 16000 signatures

Mark 4 Comments

15,000This is where we were last week – at 15,000 signatures to ban driven grouse shooting.

Now we have passed 16,000 signatures.

1000 new signatures in a week is pretty good going. I hope I’m not being unduly optimistic to hope that we will pass 25,000 signatures by the end of the six-month period.  There are another 19 weeks to go (so we’ve had seven weeks of signing).

Thank you to all who have signed and those who have promoted the e-petition – and to all who will in future.

We are a movement for change and for a better future for upland Britain.

Please sign and promote the e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting.

  1. What I can’t get my head around, is how can there be 62000 signatures to ask the BBC not to sack Chris Packham (and rightly so), in a couple of days, yet after a few weeks ‘only’ 16000 signatures to ban Driven Grouse Shooting (that’s not a criticism, it’s still a marvellous achievement).
    Chris is vocal about Hen Harriers, which is why Mr Bonner would like to see the back of him, so why aren’t all his 62000 supporters making the connection?

    (Anyway, a pint says we’ll be nearer 30,000 than 25,000)

    1. & now in excess of 65,000, with Andy Richardson / CA limping towards 2,500 – outnumbered 26:1 …. as I commented the other day ….

      Methinks the gentleman & the organisation have shot their proverbials?

      Perhaps Change.org author could contact all signatories and ask them to consider signing Ban driven grouse shooting? Imagine if the Packham support rallied to send the government epetition a message?

      & what fun would have been had if ‘keep Packham’ had been on government website & reached 100k ….

  2. A very good point Rob. Is there a way to connect the two petitions or link in to the people who’ve signed the Chris one I wonder? I often think when I sign several different petitions about the same issue (eg there are several on the bee-killing pesticides ban) why don’t the different organisations join forces to form one big petition with all the signatures together? We must be missing a trick here!

  3. I agree with Chris and Rob. Why can’t different petitions regarding the same cause not be combined together?
