Make it an offence to carry a catapult in public without lawful defence
- 40,976 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 41,595 - 61 added in the past 24hrs)
Change the law so catapult possession in public is an offence. Currently, police must prove intent or use to cause harm. We propose it becomes an absolute offence, like air rifles, without lawful defence. Rising attacks on people, animals, and wildlife show stronger powers are needed.

- 25,428 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 36,456 - 185 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.
