Wildlife and World Cups - stow your nets and SAVE!
Wildlife and World Cups - stow your nets and SAVE!
The Issue
PLEASE DO NOT PLEDGE MONEY - just few minutes of your after the family football game or after your game at your local park, school or field to safely stow your sport net or tie it right up out of the way. Every day, foxes and fox cubs experience horrific, often deadly, encounters with improperly stored goal nets and garden netting. These beautiful creatures, iconic parts of our natural landscape, suffer painful, lingering deaths or endure lasting injuries that strip them of their ability to lead normal lives. This unnecessary suffering isn't limited just to foxes, but also impacts a host of other wildlife that encounters these nets.
SCORE A GOAL FOR WILDLIFE THIS WORLP CUP AND FOREVER!
Imagine the torment of a fox cub, not yet fully aware of the world around it, innocently wandering into a garden or sports field, only to be ensnared by an unseen net. The struggle ensues, panic sets in, and if help doesn't arrive in time, the animal's fate is sealed. On those fortunate occasions when they are rescued, often it's after significant distress and trauma, leaving scars both physical and emotionally on these beautiful creatures. A mother caught in a goal would be then unable to feed her cubs. Pet cats and dogs also become ensnared in nets.
This devastating impact on our wildlife can be easily prevented with just a small act of mindfulness and responsibility. By simply securing nets after use—whether they are for football, tennis, or gardening—you can save lives. That means taking a few minutes each day to fold and store nets safely out of reach of animals or tie them safely to a post so that birds are also safe.
A commitment to this tiny act can have an unprecedented impact on preserving our wildlife. It's a reminder that our daily choices hold more power than we might realize. This is an opportunity to safeguard the animals that share our communities and gardens from needless suffering.
By signing this petition, you are pledging not just to change a habit but to be a part of a larger movement towards protecting our environment and its inhabitants. We must act now to prevent countless potential tragedies. Join us in making a pledge that will bring about significant change for our wildlife community. Sign now to save lives and advocate for a kinder world.
