As a deeply concerned citizen who believes that hunting and shooting of creatures has no place in the 21st or any other Century, I am calling on King Charles to take a stand against these practices. The King, as a patron of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), should lead by example and publicly declare his opposition to these cruel activities. Furthermore, he should ensure they are not allowed on land under his control.

If King Charles cannot commit to this declaration, it would be appropriate for him to resign from his position as patron of the RSPCA. His beliefs would then be contrary to those who believe in animal welfare. This is not just about personal beliefs; it's about aligning actions with values. According to World Animal Protection statistics, millions of animals suffer each year due to hunting and shooting activities worldwide.

We urge King Charles not only as a monarch but also as an influential figure in society, whose actions can set precedents for others around him - including future generations - towards respecting all forms of life.

Please sign this petition urging King Charles to denounce hunting and uphold animal welfare standards consistent with his role at RSPCA.
