Reduce the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels - 183,597 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 184,797 - 35 added in the past 24hrs)

We think each year, individuals suffer because of loud fireworks. We believe horses, dogs, cats, livestock and wildlife can be terrified by noisy fireworks and many people find them intolerable.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 19th January 2026

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government recognises that some people have strong feelings about fireworks and has been listening to concerns raised by members of the public regarding the impact of firework noise.

Require non-stunned and stunned meat to be labelled accordingly - 108,730 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 124,398 - 501 added in the past 24hrs)

We think it should be required that the labelling of non-stunned and stunned meat be clearly labelled throughout the food chain. This includes shops, supermarkets, suppliers, fast food and restaurants

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd December 2025 (View Full Response)
Whilst there is no regulatory requirement for labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning, any information of this nature must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.

Ban greyhound racing - 54,314 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 54,625 - 1,559 added in the past 24hrs)

Greyhound racing kills and injures dogs. From 2017–2023, 1,230 dogs died trackside, many more were destroyed, and there were over 31,000 injuries. We believe it’s time to follow Wales and ban this cruel sport.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th October 2025 (View Full Response)
The government has no plans to ban greyhound racing. The government considers it a well-regulated sport and recognises the contribution it makes to many people’s lives as well as to the economy.

Label ALL meat as Religiously Slaughtered or Non-Religiously Slaughtered - 31,777 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,245 - 126 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to create a law requiring all meat to have a label, such as a simple RS (Religiously Slaughtered) or NRS (Not religiously slaughtered), that states whether it has been religiously slaughtered or not.

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th January 2026 (View Full Response)
There are no requirements to label meat from animals slaughtered in accordance with religious rites. Where information of this nature is provided it must be accurate and must not be misleading.

Legislate to require drivers to report collisions with cats - 13,483 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 31,682 - 135 added in the past 24hrs)

It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.

Review and reform legal status of pets, and rules on animal control equipment - 9,904 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 31,017 - 437 added in the past 24hrs)

I ask the Government to review and reform the status of pets to recognise them in all cases as sentient family members and relatives, not chattel. Set out specific strict rules on using animal-control equipment like catch poles and strong penalties if negligence or force cause harm or death to pets.

Allow charities to rescue dogs with docked tails under the Animal Welfare Bill - 21,919 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,785 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask Parliament to include an exemption in the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill for registered charities and approved, responsible rescue organisations to rehome adult, disease tested dogs, who were previously docked as working hunting dogs abroad.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th January 2026 (View Full Response)
We will work with stakeholders to consider appropriate exemptions as we deliver the relevant regulations. Exemptions will need to be finely balanced against the risk of creating loopholes.

Ban the non-stun slaughter of animals - 13,984 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,844 - 3,817 added in the past 24hrs)

Ban non-stun slaughter. We think it is cruel and causes unnecessary harm to the animals being slaughtered/butchered.

Change the DDA 1991 to stop breed bans and focus on behaviour - 12,394 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,767 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the Government to reform the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 by removing breed-specific legislation and replacing it with behaviour-based laws. We think legislation should focus on responsible ownership, training, and education to improve public safety without unfairly targeting certain dog breeds.

The Government responsed to this petition on 8th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The ban on certain breed types under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 is there to protect public safety. More broadly, the government remains committed to promoting responsible dog ownership for all dogs.
