Strengthen laws protecting seals
To introduce legal protection of seals in a similar manner to already protected wildlife, such as the deer in Richmond Park.
Seal sightings are increasing across the country and this has led to more frequent, and sometimes deadly, interactions with the public and their pets. It is important to urgently assess the need for further legislative protection for seals to encourage the peaceful coexistence between the general public and wildlife.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about existing protections for seals, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
There are already a number of legal protections for seals, which you can find out about here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/protected-marine-species/seals
