Rejected petition Introduce legal protection for Brown and Mountain Hares

With the first record of Myxomatosis in hares being confirmed in Essex it is now time for Brown & Mountain Hares to be given legal protection. Brown & Mountain Hare numbers have declined dramatically & with no resistance to the virus Hares could be wiped within a few years. Now is the time to act.

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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what you mean by "legal protection" and what you would want that to include.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

If you want the UK Government to fund research for the development of a vaccine against myxomatosis, you may wish to sign this petition instead:
