The Government’s TB Eradication Strategy allows the continued killing of badgers, a protected species, until the end of this Parliament, despite the Labour manifesto calling the cull “ineffective.”
We believe the badger cull is unjustified and must end.

In modern society, we believe more consideration needs to be given to animal welfare and how livestock is treated and culled.

Ban all Fox and Stag Hunting with Dogs - including Trail Hunting
- 340 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,465 - 62 added in the past 24hrs)
The Government said they'd ban hunting, we think now is the time to stand by this promise & ban all forms of hunting with dogs. We think allowing trail hunting hasn’t worked to prevent live animals being harmed and killed by hunts.

- 466 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 983 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to reform the DDA 1991. Whilst S3 applies to all breeds, we believe it's discriminatory due to the existence of S1 which targets specific types based on appearance. We want this replaced with a behaviour-based approach, and to prioritise education for safety and fairness.
