Summary

We want the government to make it a legal requirement that all sports netting on sports fields, in schools and domestic gardens is tied up to prevent ensnaring wildlife and pets. Make it a fineable offence for the net owners not to do so. Every year hundreds of wild animals and pets are trapped in sports netting that has been left in place. Many animals die or suffer horrific constriction injuries. We think this suffering is preventable with a little thought by net owners. We feel they need to be forced to take action by law.
