Petition Action

Allow the release of wild boar and introduce a statutory close shooting season

Petition Details

Give wild boar (sus scrofa), an iconic British species, a close shooting season. Allow landowners to release boar onto their land (after assessing local opinions) to increase the hunting economy and eco-tourism.

Additional Information

Wild Boar are an iconic, native, British species entwined with our culture and traditions. We think they have important ecological functions, and that tales of them being dangerous should be hushed by the fact we already live alongside red deer, a large wild animal. We don't believe this would be 'species reintroduction' given wild boar are already present in England.
