Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.

- 58,463 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 60,389 - 75 added in the past 24hrs)
Religious slaughter may require the animal to be slaughtered whilst alive, which is in line with their religious beliefs. In relation to this, stunning needs to be recoverable. Normal slaughter uses a bolt gun that renders the animal brain dead and unable to regain consciousness.

Their lives end quietly in pounds, commercial kennels, veterinary practices and rescues, often unseen and unrecorded.
