Do you know anyone in these areas who you could ask to sign up?
Who will cross the line first – and will it be in Scotland, Yorkshire, the West Country or the south coast?
How many of these constituencies will have reached 100 by the end of this weekend?
Ceredigion looks certain to be the first Welsh constituency to cross the 100 signatures mark – will it be this weekend?
We shall see – but the answers are up to you!
Please sign up for a better, more sustainable, upland future.

I have to say I’m very disappointed in my old home of Kilmarnock and Loudoun being one of the lowest signatories. Anyone know a Killie or Upper Irvine Valley group that could be persuaded to weigh in. Maybe a bit of fly-leafleting there? I know everyone there is upset about Killie being relegated, but don’t take it out on the hen harriers!
On another note it looks like the Countryside Alliance have scored a win over the RSPCA; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36292580 . I wonder what the RSPB’s next move will be?
Yep…looks like another for the disinvestment plan. Hopefully the SSPCA will resist being nobled…
There is an online petition at 38 degrees for those who are appalled at this further capitulation to those who harm and kill animals for recreation:

I think the easier it is for these people get away with flouting the laws about killing wildlife, the less chance our hen harriers will have.
Cheers Alan, signed.
There is an incessant war against anybody and anything that puts animal welfare, conservation and the public good above the interests of the rich and ignorant – the Eton educated fox hunter and the village scumbag terrierman, the stockbroking grouse decimator and idiot keepers with delusions of grandeur. The RSPCA, RSPB, SSPCA, John Muir Trust, National Trust, even independent vets who dare to say puppies feel pain when their tails are docked have been getting nothing but co-ordinated abuse from a nasty little cabal of bloodthirsty idiots and their lackeys great and small. They are this country’s Ku Klux Klan and the sooner our own big wigs wise up to this and act accordingly the better.
Thank you, Les – I wholeheartedly agree.
5 constituencies teetering on 99, but no new 100’s as the 37000 mark is reached a little before 1 AM.
