Abolish seagulls being a protected species

More details

Seagulls are not a rare breed that need protection as they are in danger of extinction. They breed prolifically, and in recent years have become a real problem in our towns and cities. A sympathetic approach is needed to be able to manage and curb their ever increasing numbers.

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
