Closed Ban the sale of fake cobwebs in the UK – they're a danger to animals

Closed on

Ban the sale of fake cobwebs in the United Kingdom. They are non-biodegradable and they can cause immense harm to wildlife and birds sheltering in hedge rows to keep warm and safe.

They can affect so many species of animals and this country needs to protect our extremely depleted wildlife right across the country. Halloween might only be a brief time of year but the impact of this stuff can be long term and with it being non-biodegradable we believe it does absolutely nothing good for us.
