Ban non-stun & recoverable stun slaughter of animals - 12,552 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 43,399 - 240 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.

Legislate to require drivers to report collisions with cats - 29,097 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 38,140 - 261 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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has no current plans to require drivers to report collisions with cats. However, the Road Safety Strategy will improve road safety for all road users, including cats and other animals.

Introduce an NHS data opt-out & require a consultation for system expansions - 27,441 Signatures

Introduce a clear national opt-out for NHS data processed in the Federated Data Platform (FDP) and National Data Integration Tenant (NDIT) and require a full public consultation before any further expansion of these systems.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The National Data Opt-Out does not apply to the NDIT or FDP as data use supports direct care, is legally required or is anonymised. National public engagement is shaping changes to the opt-out system.
