Hi Norfolk Bea
Sorry there hasn’t been much interest re. your petition. I suspect part of the problem is that BHPS had a similar petition a few years ago https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/petition-to-increase-hedgehog-protection/
They got the required number of signatures and it was ‘debated’ in parliament (in committee, as I recall), but I don’t think anything came of it. That isn’t any reason not to have another petition, of course, but may explain some of the apparent apathy.
The way I see it, if they keep having to debate this issue, maybe eventually they will do something about it! So I hope you get lots more signatures.
To anyone worried about the petition, please do have a look – it’s very straightforward to ‘sign’ and this is a completely separate petition to the one from BHPS which you may have ‘signed’ a few years ago.
So come on everyone, we only have until 29th February to get this petition up to 100,000 votes. Please also tell all your friends and relations about it.
The hogs need our help!
