Hello,

Thank you for signing this petition. Your support helped show there is real public backing for a ban to protect gannets and that support has made a difference.

I have recently discovered there is an official petition on the Scottish Government website calling for this ban and in recent days it has become the most signed petition in Scottish Government history. This is the petition the Scottish Government will formally take into account.

It closes on Wed 21st January 2026.

If you signed this Change.org petition, it is vital that you sign the Scottish Government petition here before it closes:

https://petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE2202

If you have already signed the Scottish Government petition, thank you for standing up so powerfully for gannets. If you donated to help amplify this petition, thank you. Your support helped bring 3631 voices together to this point. I have closed the petition on change.org to ensure that we distill all support into the petition on the Scottish Parliament website. 

The window for action is short. Please add your voice before 21 January.

With gratitude,

Rebecca Douglas
