Background

The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries (identified in the Environment Act 2021). The Hunting Act 2004 has been evaded by hunters using many loopholes. 

The government supports a 30% ban on fishing, however by 2030 many species will be extinct and people affected consuming microplastics in fish. 

Insects and birds are in unprecedented catastrophic decline. 

Killing ‘pests’ is not the best method of hygiene.

Let us simply protect all animals from being killed while we still can.
