Ask Defra to Act for Wildlife!

Every year, millions of wild animals are persecuted, displaced and cruelly killed across Britain. The scale of their suffering is substantial because our laws fail to give wild animals the protection they need and deserve.

It’s time to Act for Wildlife.

We’re calling urgently for wildlife laws to be strengthened, to better protect wildlife, and ensure wild animal welfare is at the centre of wildlife legislation.

We are urging the government to Act for Wildlife by consolidating and updating wildlife laws into one Wildlife Act with animal welfare placed at the heart of it.

Please help us to put wildlife on Defra’s priority list by signing an open letter to Defra Minister, Mary Creagh MP, asking for Defra to conduct a full review of our wildlife laws as part of their animal welfare strategy.

Ask Mary Creagh, Defra Minister for Nature, to Act for Wildlife.

Dear Mary Creagh,

Every year, millions of wild animals suffer across Britain, because our laws fail to give wild animals the protection they need and deserve.

I am sickened to know that criminals who carry out wildlife crimes, like badger baiting or hare coursing, are not being punished due to weak laws or receive shorter sentences than criminals who target animals kept as pets. I want to see a ban on the use and sale of snares because I believe these wire traps are archaic, they cause horrific injuries and suffering to animals who are caught. I want to see a world where animals are treated with kindness, not made to suffer purely because they are seen as ‘pests’, and that people are encouraged to use humane methods of pest control, instead of killing.

I support Humane World for Animals UK who are calling urgently for wildlife laws to be strengthened, to better protect wildlife, and ensure wild animal welfare is at the centre of wildlife legislation. I would like your assurance that you will make this issue a priority for Defra, by reviewing and updating wildlife laws to create one Wildlife Act.
