Rejected petition Legalise rescue of suffering birds from bird netting without owner’s permission
Birds can easily get stuck in bird netting and it can take days for them to die a long death. At the moment it’s not legal to rescue them without the bird netting’s owner permission and everyone doing so can help reliable for damages done to the bird netting. Legalise the rescue of suffering birds
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.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The law says it's an offence to cause an animal to suffer, either though an act or a failure to act. This would apply to a bird trapped in bird netting.
