Delay the ban on rehoming and owning XL Bully dogs for 18 months
- 65,039 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 65,203 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
XL Bully dogs cannot be rehomed after 31/12/23, and will be illegal to own without an exemption certificate from 1/2/24. As a result many Bully dogs are being abandoned or placed in rescue. We want more time for owners to rehome or get exemptions, to avoid dogs being euthanised unnecessarily.

The way we develop land has a direct impact on hedgehog survival. Preserving existing habitats and incorporating hedgehog-friendly features into new developments are essential for reversing their decline.
Developers must be required to conduct hedgehog surveys & implement mitigation measures.

The Government made a manifesto commitment to ban imports of hunting trophies from endangered animals but has so far failed to deliver and legislation was not announced in the recent King’s Speech.
Allow vegans to opt-out of paying taxes that subsidise animal agriculture

(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,823 - 80 added in the past 24hrs)
Give vegans the option to opt out of paying taxes that subsidise an industry we are fundamentally against. It is against our beliefs and ethics (protected by the Equality Act of 2010) that we pay/fund such an industry with our hard earned taxes.

Launch an urgent judge-led public inquiry into the 'XL Bully' ban
- 1,723 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 9,294 - 43 added in the past 24hrs)
There has been much debate about every aspect of the 'XL Bully' ban and we believe a comprehensive public inquiry should be held into the decisions made, as well as what mandate from the people was used in this decision making, and subsequent actions undertaken.

Ensure tenants can't be evicted for owning an exempted XL Bully dog
- 5,835 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,896 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I do not think it’s right that good owners who are following the rules of exemption and have well behaved dogs might be faced with the risk of being evicted due to owning an exempt XL Bully.
Reform legislation to better protect horses and riders from dogs
- 3,697 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,351 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We want dangerous dogs legislation updated to better protect horses and riders from dogs, including by making it clear in law that any dog that causes nuisance to or attacks a horse or rider is treated as a dangerous dog.
Increase sentences and create a public database for dog cruelty offenders
- 4,007 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,228 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
I think the government should increase the sentences for dog abusers, including an automatic ban on future dog ownership. I also think there needs to be a public database that can be accessed to see who has been convicted as an dog abuser.
