Open Petition since 22nd November 2024

Ban driven grouse shooting - 53,623 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 95,254 - 374 added in the past 24hrs)

Chris Packham, Ruth Tingay and Mark Avery (Wild Justice) believe that driven grouse shooting is bad for people, the environment and wildlife. People; we think grouse shooting is economically insignificant when contrasted with other real and potential uses of the UK’s extensive uplands.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th January 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to ban driven grouse shooting. It recognises well-managed grouse shooting can be an important part of a local rural economy, providing direct and indirect employment.
Open Petition since 28th November 2024

End the Badger cull and adopt other approaches to bovine TB control - 50,381 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 83,698 - 284 added in the past 24hrs)

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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th January 2025 (View Full Response)
Bovine TB has devastated British farmers and wildlife. Work has started on a new eradication strategy to drive down TB rates, protecting cattle and farmers’ livelihoods, and to end the badger cull.

We think the UK Government must ban all cages for laying hens as soon as possible.

Require labelling of beef & dairy from cows fed with additives to reduce methane - 30,871 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 45,007 - 130 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe that all beef and dairy products from cows whose feed contains additives used for reducing methane emissions, should be labelled to state that this is the case, so the public can decide whether to consume or not, instead of consuming unknowingly. We believe it should be our choice.


Open Petition since 21st November 2024

Ban non-stun slaughter in the UK - 20,160 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,856 - 83 added in the past 24hrs)

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

We believe non-stun slaughter is barbaric and doesn't fit in with our culture and modern-day values and should be banned, as some EU nations have done.

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th January 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government would prefer all animals to be stunned before slaughter. However, we respect the rights of Jews and Muslims to eat meat prepared in accordance with their religious beliefs.

Impose a lifetime ban on animal ownership for anyone convicted of animal cruelty - 728 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,675 - 72 added in the past 24hrs)

The government should impose a lifetime ban on animal ownership for anyone who causes deliberate suffering to animals. Under current laws, courts can impose bans but these may be short-term, allowing offenders to own animals again after a short period.
