Rejected petition Ban all hunting on National Trust land indefinitely.

To permanently end so-called "trail hunt" licences being handed out by the National Trust.

More details

We are calling for these suspensions to be made permanent and for hunting to be banned on all National Trust land indefinitely + in the rest of the UK. Until 2020 the National Trust has allowed ‘trail hunts’ to use their land. These licences are currently suspended pending the outcome of the police investigation they need to be banned before then

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about whether to ban trail hunts on National Trust land are a matter for the National Trust, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Mini’s law - Protect the public and animals from hunting activities: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/584076

Ban trail hunts from using more than two hounds: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/583761

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