Hi folks,

Breaking News: 
In a surprise announcement today, Natural England have revoked general licences covering 16 species of birds, including Crows, Pigeons, Jays and Canada Geese.
This follows a legal challenge brought by the Wild Justice organisation.

The new law does not directly affect the species we are fighting for through our petition, although it is certainly good news for the 16 species which are now legally protected under licence.

But, according to FieldSports News, a source from Natural England is quoted as saying that "the reason for the decision stems from recent media reports about licences issued to kill songbirds.." This certainly appears to suggest that our petition has at least partly fuelled this latest change in policy - which is great news!

Now we have to push for tighter regulation in granting licences, together with effective monitoring of licences issued.

I've outlined my thoughts about this development on my blog, you can read it and comment by clicking the link below:-

Meanwhile, let's keep the pressure on!
Please keep sharing the petition!

Best,
