Rejected petition Stop the shooting/hunting of birds in Malta
Rejected on
This is a serious problem with migrating birds. The turtle dove is in serious decline due to the hunting in this country. There needs to be a ban on this now
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We cannot accept your petition as the UK Government and Parliament don't have the power to take this action in Malta. You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to raise this issue with the government of Malta.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
