Closed petition Allow the culling of seagulls in urban and commercial areas by pest control

Closed on

We want the Government to amend legislation protecting seagulls so that professional pest control workers can cull these birds in urban and commercial areas. The culling of seagulls should be regulated, to strike a balance between conservation efforts and public safety.

By targeting specific areas and times when seagull populations are highest, controlled culling could help reduce the incidents of human attacks and disease transmission.
