Closed petition Ban wing clipping in hens and birds

We need to ban this cruel, painful, psychologically damaging, outdated technique which is used to prevent a bird from flying.

More details

This is outdated and cruel! Clipping feathers is painful and can cause profuse bleeding. The panic and frustration of not being able to fly causes psychological and behavioural problems.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
