Ban the non-stun slaughter of animals - 28,681 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 29,462 - 172 added in the past 24hrs)

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

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The government prefers all animals to be stunned before slaughter. The law established in 1933 respects the rights of Jews and Muslims to eat meat prepared in accordance with their religious beliefs.

The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill delivers on manifesto promises and will make progress towards the Opportunity Mission to break the link between young people’s background and future success.

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 23,077 Signatures
