Rejected petition Prohibit any electrical installations that can electrocute birds of prey.

My female Harris Hawk got electrocuted and killed this week after landing on what is supposed to be a safe electrical installation. My worry is protected birds like Goshawks, Peregrines, Golden Eagles, Sea Eagles etc.... will suffer the same fate. I'd like them to pass laws to prohibit these.

More details

Only the UK government and devolved parliaments have the powers to prohibit un-safe electrical distribution installations by banning these designs and assessing any risks.

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 understand you're concerned about the risk of electrocution to birds of prey, however it's not clear what you mean by 'electrical installation'.

You could have a petition calling on the Government to commission a review of the impact of specified forms of electrical installation (such as power and sub- stations, for example), if that is something you'd like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
