Ban every hunting activity in regions where Hen Harriers nest

Petition Details

Hen Harriers are at risk of extinction and, as reported by the BBC: "... ten times more likely to die or vanish when they were on or near areas used for shooting. Researchers say there is no plausible explanation other than illegal killing."

Additional Information

"Hen harriers are disappearing on English grouse moors due to illegal killing, according to a scientific study. [...] hen harriers were ten times more likely to die or vanish when they were on or near areas used for shooting. Researchers say there is no plausible explanation other than illegal killing. [...] illegal persecution is having a major impact on the conservation status of this bird,"
