Introduce a total ban on any fox killing and mandate non-lethal management

Introduce a total ban on any fox killing and mandate non-lethal management — 483 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Ban all fox killing/injuring in the UK, including for "control." Amend the law to mandate humane, non-lethal deterrents (fencing, tech, guardian animals) for farmers and ban any lethal control or culling. We must transition from what we see as extermination to coexistence. Protect our wildlife now.

Additional details

We want Parliament to amend the Hunting Act 2004 and Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 1996 to outlaw all intentional killing or injuring of foxes, ensuring that no foxes can be killed for "pest control" or any other purposes. Parliament must mandate the use of humane, non-lethal deterrents such as fox-proof fencing and motion-tech and the provision of government subsidies to help farmers transition. We demand an end to what we see as the culling cycle, shifting UK policy toward a model of coexistence that protects our wildlife from all harm.
