Standing up for Nature
Many thanks to many supporters of the League Against Cruel Sports for adding their names to our e-petition (and to LACS staff for their asssistance). Today is already the strongest day for the e-petition for a while with over 4500 new signatures and the rate of new signatures still strong. But parliamentary pro-rogation may only…
80,000 signatures is a significant milestone that was passed last night. There are now 19,961 signatures needed to reach the 100,000 signatures threshold. The news that the Westminster Parliament will be suspended on 12 September means, I am pretty sure, that all petitions will close on that date. Which means that we have 14 days…
We have a rival e-petition in favour of grouse shooting (all types) which was set up over a week ago and yesterday passed 3000 signatures. It needs a bit of help from the Chelsea set to get a remotely respectable number of signatures and that help has not yet been forthcoming. When we see the…
I caught myself feeling a bit disappointed with how quickly the signatures for Chris Packham’s petition were amassing the other day – but it is just two weeks of existence and well over three quarters of the way to the hoped-for 100,000 signatures. That is a fantastic rate of progress – let’s not forget. Here…
It may seem longer, but at 4:25pm or so today we will have completed two weeks of this petition. It would be nice to have reached 80,000 signatures by then but I guess we’ll still be a little short of 79,000. In 2016, when we reached 100,000 for a similar petition in c20 weeks, at…
If you point the camera on your smart-phone at this QR code is will take you straight to the petition to ban driven grouse shooting – then you can read it and decide whether or not you’d like to sign it (please do). We’re on 77,600+ signatures and we’ve not yet completed two weeks. that’s…
Download this poster from here or from Chris Packham’s website, print it out and then display it somewhere, please. At work? In a shop window? At a local wildlife event? I’m sure you can find somewhere – please do. Time is short as there is likely to be a general election called soon-ish and then…
Yesterday, I indicated that Chris Packham’s e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting had experienced a long delay between the time that it acquired five signatures (as the process requires) and being published on the Westminster Parliament website. I’m very, very grateful to ‘a reader’ for this plot of the delays between moderation being completed (getting…
Here is a table of petitions on the Westminster parliament website – they are ordered by their petition number (smaller numbers = earlier petitions). To get your petition into the system you have to write it (creation date; all dates are in July so 1 = 1 July, 22 = 22 July and 44 =…
If you would like to help recruit your friends, family, workmates, lovers etc to the cause of banning driven grouse shooting then Wild Justice will gladly send you the postcard above. It’s a lovely Golden Eagle by Chris Packham. But on the other side, the business side, is the information that you can share with…
