This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about how the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 affects grey squirrels, but we're not sure exactly how you'd like the law to change.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
If you'd like a law made by the Scottish Parliament to change, you'd need to petition the Scottish Parliament about it. If you'd like to petition the Scottish Parliament, you can find out more here:
