Where are we with this?
Nobody is doing anything to stop pigeon abuse. Why?
Are there armies of parents out there who demand the right to let their children kick and chase pigeons? Well, there might be some, but I don't think that's normal. Or is the problem simply that nobody cares? Comments on this petition suggest that is not how it is. It seems to me that everybody wants somebody else to do something about it.
This petition is addressed to the Prime Minister. It has been submitted to him twice, firstly with over 10,000 signatures and secondly with well over 10,000 signatures but he has not responded.
My MP says that she is "overseeing" the issue, but regardless of my requests she has not raised it in parliament, or done anything to actually stop pigeon abuse.
This petition does not have 11,000 signatures yet, but it is getting there, the numbers of signatures are rising as more people become aware of it.
Can anybody who has signed do anything more to stop pigeon abuse? I have written to just about everybody I can think of but I am only one person and the effect of my letters has been unable to solve the problem, can anybody else help? A lady from America wrote that my updates are not proper, but has she bothered to try to get the President to do anything about it yet?
I think the problem of pigeon abuse is part of a bigger problem. It could lead to other forms of abuse.
Mayor of London Ken Livingstone was putting up posters describing pigeons as sky rats in 2002. Children growing up with this message that it is OK to abuse pigeons might go on to abuse animals or people.
What is happening to our country, and our democracy, when pigeon abuse is considered normal and where our petition, of 10,796 signatures, is ignored by the Prime Minister? Are you happy about this? If not, please do something to help, and let us know what you have done. We are stronger together. We stand together against the culture of cruelty towards pigeons.
We want action, by government, to end this cruelty.

Please share the song with family and friends. There is no need to persecute pigeons. They’ve done nothing wrong, as the song says!
Pigeons helped the allies win WW1 and WW2. They deserve respect.
Thank you.
