A petition opposing the move, organised by the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, now has well over ~~a million~~ signatories. I urge the Government to reconsider that damaging proposal.	…A petition opposing the move, organised by the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, now has well over 100,000 signatories.
