Tell me I'm wrong (please) but from where I'm looking it's just pissing in the wind.

Also the poorly concieved footnote for the petition reeks of personal grievance. The 'embalishing facts' bit is well embalished. Hardly makes for a convincing argument from when you start by doing the very thing you are criticising.
If you believe they are in fact doing the country a diservice then by all means sign, but perhaps reading a bit about the group and making your own mind up rather than making a decision based on a badly written, oversimplified blurb posted by god only knows who, with undisclosed (im guessing none) credentials.

Have a look at their finances.

I signed and shared it. Only 22 to go

21 to go

http://safe.org.nz/sites/default/files/animal-activist-handbook.pdf Looking at their animal activism handbook. They are no friends of people who hunt, fish, eat meat, ride horses or wear wool. Next time someone gets shot in a hunting accident, take a look at their Facebook page for the comments from their supporters like good job, serves you right and karma being a bitch. These people are not your friend and they would shut down hunting if they had the chance.

ISIS isn't the nicest bunch too but I doubt a 1000 strong petition will shut them down either.

Good luck, but I'm not holding my breath. I did look at the Charities Commission site and Im surprised they were given charitable status in the first place though as they are very fringe.
