Our Woodcock petition passes 100,000 signatures and there are three weeks to go

Our petition to limit the Woodcock shooting season passed 100,000 signatures on Friday. Thank you for such great support! And it is still attracting signatures, which is great.

Here is an update on the leading constituencies – 17 of them – all with more than 400 signatures, and West Dorset now way out in front with over 650;

    1. West Dorset, Chris Loder MP – 672 signatures
    2. North Norfolk, Duncan Baker MP – 589 signatures
    3. Suffolk Coastal, Therese Coffey MP – 554 signatures
    4. Torridge and West Devon, Geoffrey Cox MP – 541 signatures
    5. Central Devon, Mel Stride MP – 540 signatures
    6. South Norfolk, Richard Bacon MP – 512 signatures
    7. Derbyshire Dales, Sarah Dines MP – 493 signatures
    8. North Dorset, Simon Hoare MP – 461 signatures
    9. S Dorset, Richard Drax MP – 457 signatures
    10. Broadland, Jerome Mayhew MP – 452 signatures
    11. Mid Norfolk, George Freeman MP – 448 signatures
    12. Totnes, Anthony Mangnall MP – 443 signatures
    13. Norwich S, Clive Lewis MP – 431 signatures
    14. Stroud, Siobhain Baillie MP – 426 signatures
    15. High Peak, Robert Largan MP – 425 signatures
    16. Isle of Wight, Bob Seeley MP – 408 signatures
    17. East Devon, Simon Jupp MP – 401 signatures

Here’s a map of where the signatures come from – everywhere! But SW England and East Anglia are particularly strong areas of support. Both are strong Pheasant shooting areas. It’s good to see that Therese Coffey’s constituents are still sending the Defra Secretary of State a strong message on what she should do.

Our action, supported by you, has already persuaded Defra to promise changes to licensing and for those to be discussed across the UK administrations. This would not have happened without our action – thank you for your brilliant support.

Please share the petition link – https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/619615 – you can help move things along even faster. Thank you.
