Rejected petition Legalise hunting animals in the uk with compound, recurve and crossbows.
Legalise hunting with crossbows recurve bows and compound bows. Game can be killed as humanely with a bow as they can with firearms such as shotguns. Hunting with a bow has been a tradition since man began using tools. It is a part of our heritage that many don't know about it should be revitalised.
More details
Bow hunting is legal in many part of the world where hunting is popular, hunters cannot bow hunt due to these laws. Todays bows far exceed necessary requirements for a humane kill. Hunting has been common practice in rural parts of the country and this should include bow hunting.
