An e-petition which calls on the Government to introduce a ?vicarious liability? offence in England against landowners on whose land raptor persecution takes place is gathering support.

As Shooting Times went to press, 2,500 people had signed; 100,000 signatories are needed to trigger a debate in Parliament.
