Rejected petition Ban Bird Scarers
The countryside should be a place to enjoy not somewhere to walk in fear of an explosion. It can be terrifying for people and animals and for the limited effect it has on protecting the crops they are not worth the anguish they cause.
More details
Ban the use of random and dangerous explosives within hearing range of public footpaths.
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.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about certain types of devices intended to scare birds, but we're not sure if you want all devices designed to scare birds to be banned, or only those that use loud noises to scare birds.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
