PLEASE SIGN! Make 'Netting' Hedgerows To Prevent Birds From Nesting A Criminal Offence.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/244233

I only heard about this recently, I am flabbergasted that this even goes on!!! Please sign, share, retweet, facebook, email etc. Thank you very much.

"Developers, and other interested parties are circumventing laws protecting birds by 'netting' hedgerows to prevent birds from nesting. This facilitates the uprooting of hedgerows which aid biodiversity and provide the only remaining nesting sites for birds, whose numbers are in sharp decline. 'Netting' hedgerows threatens declining species of birds, presents a danger by entrapment to wildlife, and produces large amounts of plastic waste."
