Closed A UK ban of airguns

Closed on

As the founder of both Missing Cats In Scotland and Missing Cats In England, I am appalled at the amount of cases regarding cats and the cruel use of airguns against these animals.
Many cats, in an alarming increase of numbers, are being targeted and shot with air guns resulting in most cases, in the death of the animal.

I have created this petition to not only raise awareness of this, but also to have the government ban the use of airguns and to make it harder for people on the streets to get hold of them.
