I have seen at first hand the horrors this crime involves, my own cat being murdered by 3 vicious and uncontrolled grey hounds. The current law is wholly inadequate and does not take into account the serious psychological trauma caused to pet owners and others who witness or experience it, and needs to be much tougher to reduce the incidence in the future.

Because I'm concerned about animals welfare

Then there wouldn't be so many lost and stray Cats about.Owners would be found quicker.

Nicola Sturgeon recently declared a Climate Emergency. Why is this development on the cards at all? This proposed development has already split the island community with fears that it will destroy the serene peacefulness of the area as well as harming wildlife and tourism. North Uist and the surrounding islands are a haven for breeding colonies of cormorants, black guillemots, seals and otters. There IS a climate emergency, we need to protect fragile environments and wildlife, this development is a major threat to both.

Many people find that they are faced with horrendous bills at vets and the choice is either accept it or euthanasia of their beloved pet as they cannot afford the treatment.many pets would be saved if the vets bills are lower.

THE UK HAVE ONE OF THE STRONGEST ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS. THIS MUST REMAIN. THE CITIZENS OF THE UK DO NOT EAT CAT AND DOG MEAT AND THIS SHOULD APPLY TO ALL CITIZENS REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITY OR FAITH.

The current law states that you must stop if you hit a dog but not a cat. Cats are loved by their owners just as much and should be treated the same. Many cats are left to die at the roadside instead of receiving the help that could save their lives. If reported to the owner or vet, many lives will be saved and changing the law would be a vital step in doing so. Please sign and share this petition. Thank you.

It is important for this to be stopped for the obvious reason that our wildlife must be protected and not destroyed to satisfy the sickening killing for pleasure.

“Sri Lankan authorities must stop allowing such atrocious cruelty and send this poor elephant to a reputable sanctuary where she can be assessed by veterinarians and, if treatment is viable, live out her remaining years in peace,” she said. "No one sees the tears in her eyes, injured by the bright lights that decorate her mask, no one sees her difficulty to step as her legs are short shackled while she walks. "For a ceremony, all have the right to belief as long as that belief does not disturb or harm another. How can we call this a blessing, or something holy, if we make other lives to suffer?"

Despite annual correspondence to the three hunts in Co Durham saying no hunting allowed on public land to the three fox hunts in Co Durham hunting continues. On public land and footpath nature reserves , even blocking the entrance to a car park with 4x4’ s. I have witnessed a woman pushing a pushchair with a child in it , through the riders as they waited for hounds to search a small wood for any foxes lurking there. Hunting is a dangerous sport, not just to the hunted animal but to the pedestrian who gets in their way. Hounds have been seen crossing a railway line. Last season a hunt entered Wingate Nature reserve despite a large orange notice saying dogs must be under control so not to disturb nesting birds.

Well, once upon a time, not long ago, slug pellets (or Metaldehyde) was at long last banned by Defra. Hoorah I hear you say and then some people got offended and somehow got the ban overturned. Slug pellets kill all manner of our endangered critters included the much loved hedgehog and as much of our wildlife is threatened, endangered and on critical lists, we need to turn this around NOW. So, please, for future generations to enjoy our lovely beasties, please sign this very important petition. Thank you.

The festival is celebrated annually in Yulin, Guangxi, China, during the summer solstice in June, by eating dogmeat and lychees. About 10,000 to 15,000 dogs are consumed during the 10 days of the festival. This number has decreased to 1,000 in 2015. This festival needs to end. At least one thousand dogs are murdered brutally every year for simply sport. It's disgusting to kill any animal in general but dogs are pets! The sweetest pets you'll ever meet! This is disgusting and could easily be lived without. Not to mention they don't even know what's happening. These innocent dogs just want to help and love and are instead being sold, hunted, tortured, killed and eaten. This has to end. If you want this to end also then please sign this petition! It's a sick "festival" That really says a lot about the people living in these cities.
