12 kids in the UK are diagnosed with cancer daily. 1 in 5 will die within 5 years, often of the deadliest types like DIPG (brainstem cancer) - fatal on diagnosis & other cancers on relapse. Yet there has been little, or no, funding for research into these cancers and little, or no, progress. |

5 Sep 2020 closed 5 months, 3 weeks ago |
|
|
After owning nurseries for 29 years I have never experienced such damaging times for the sector with rising costs not being met by the funding rates available. Business Rates are a large drain on the sector and can mean the difference between nurseries being able to stay open and having to close. |

30 Oct 2020 closed 4 months ago |
|
|
Zoos, aquariums, and similar organisations across the country carry out all sorts of conservation work, animal rescue, and public education. At the start of the season most rely on visitors (who now won't come) to cover annual costs, yet those costs do not stop while they are closed. They need help. |

1 Apr 2019 closed 1 year, 11 months ago |
|
|
Thousands of cats are just disposed of every year without being scanned for a chip after being involved in RTAs. Owners search for months and years and never get closure. Scanning takes two minutes. Cats are a part of a family and deserve to be returned home, not thrown into landfill. |

17 Jul 2018 closed 2 years, 7 months ago |

Ban the sale of animal fur in the UK. Gov Responded - 28 Nov 2017 Debated on - 4 Jun 2018 View Patricia Gibson's petition debate contributions |
23 Mar 2018 closed 2 years, 11 months ago |
|
|
Fur farming was banned in England and Wales in 2000, followed by Scotland in 2002. However fur products can still be legally imported from other countries and sold here in the UK. Much of this fur comes from countries that have very weak or no animal welfare laws at all. |

Ban the sale of puppies by pet shops & all commercial 3rd party dealers. Gov Responded - 20 Mar 2018 Debated on - 21 May 2018 View Patricia Gibson's petition debate contributions |
1 Sep 2018 closed 2 years, 6 months ago |
|
|
Removing puppies for sale from litter & mum often creates sick, traumatised, dysfunctional dogs. Puppies should be seen with their mum & transporting them to a different place for sale harms welfare. Regulating commercial 3rd party sales is ineffective to prevent harm & a ban is therefore necessary. |
