Ban the use of slug pellets in the UK.

Petition Details

Many pesticides are potentially dangerous to hedgehogs and slug pellets are no exception. Hedgehogs may eat the pellets, and they are very likely to eat the poisoned slugs and snails. As hedgehogs are an endangered species, pellets should be banned in the UK.

Additional Information

Conservation groups say they are particularly concerned about the plight of the hedgehog in towns and rural areas.Slug pellets contribute to this number.Hedgehogs are an endangered species we must do all we can to help these mammals.
There are many natural ways to curb slugs without the need for dangerous pellets.
