Ban the sale of catapults and carrying catapults in public

Ban the sale of catapults and carrying catapults in public — 1,277 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

We urge the Government to make carrying catapults in public places illegal, so that the police can arrest those carrying, especially in areas of known wildlife. We also urge the Government to ban the sale of catapults the UK, so they are not so easily accessible to children!

Additional details

I am a specialist of bird and believe we are currently in a wildlife crime pandemic. There have been reports of wildlife being attacked by young people carrying catapults and ball bearings. We think the law needs to change so that the Police has more powers to arrest those carrying catapults.
