Rejected petition Reverse the revocation of General Licences GL04/05/06

Reverse Natural England's short-notice revocation of the General Licences GL04/05/06 under which it was lawful for landowners & pest controllers to shoot woodpigeons, crows, magpies etc. without needing to apply for a specific license.

More details

England (NE) is temporarily revoking three general licences in England for controlling certain wild birds from Thursday this week.
These licences (GL 04/05/06) cover 16 species of birds including several members of the crow family, Canada goose and some gulls and pigeons. There is uncertainty as to when the temporary revocation will end.

To take such a step without consultation and proper notice is utterly unacceptable from a statutory body and leaves many people at risk of breaking the law.
