These collars are designed to control dogs by inflicting pain and discomfort if the dog pulls. They can cause serious physical and emotional damage including whiplash, spinal cord injuries, crushing the trachea and puncturing of the skin. The list is long and considering that there are many less invasive alternatives to addressing this problem it is an outdated and unnecessary practice. In short it is a form of torture which would not be tolerated if inflicted on a child but is lawful when used on a dog who, like a child, is totally dependent on an adult to meet their needs. Most dog owners consider them to be part of the family. Is deliberately inflicting pain on a family member acceptable in our society?

The Government wants all our zoos to close down indefinitely. Zoos in this country provide great care and protection to animals in their care, many of them at the brink of extinction. Alton Towers is allowed to open on the 4th of July. Most public parks and beaches are open, with many of them getting packed on warm days. Yet, our zoos which are generally vast outdoor areas, have been told to close down indefinitely. Zoos like Chester Zoo are doing hugely important conservation work, and are a major tourist attraction. Our children learn about wildlife animals by visiting zoos. Following 10 years of austerity with most children centres closed down, hundreds of children's services reduced or disappeared altogether, and now our children locked down and most of them out of school for more than 5 months in order to protect their grandparents, the closure of the zoos is a shockingly ill-informed decision that will further undermine the quality of life of our children and communities. Please help save our zoos by petitioning the government.

Horses are strong and powerful animals that take years of training or “breaking in” to tame. Like any animal they are never 100% under control and nor should they be. The use of horses within the police force as a means of “crowd control” has and never will be acceptable. The unpredictability of an animal so large amidst crowds is reckless at best. For the safety of the animal and the general public we advocate for the liberation of all animals from public service and demand the Scottish Government start by reviewing the use of horses within the police force.

Because the cats have a family lt maybe a family with young children or for elderly or people with problems to keep them company and for them to get the news that their cat has been hit is very heartbreaking, if it was another drivers cat that got ran over by someone else they e be upset so I don't think it is right at all to have it that you don't have to stop. I really think drivers should stop and alert somebody or take them to the nearest vets

Animals are not commodities to be used to 'make an extra bit on the side' Although Facebook have renewed guidelines about selling animals, it is still rife on many popular selling sites and community websites. Selling animals in this way encourages impulse and casual purchases. Checks are not necessarily made on potential owners meaning animals can be subjected to inappropriate ownership or unsuitable conditions for their needs. The temptation of an 'easy sell' encourages 'hobby breeding' while rescue centres are full to bursting with animals needing homes. Social media and selling sites provide disreputable breeders with a means to reach the wider public who may not be informed or aware of the risk involved. There is no justifiable reason to sell an animal on a selling site. Rescue centres exist for the very purpose of helping people re-home unwanted pets or surprise litters. Professional breeders can sell through official websites. Please sign this petition to try and stop animals being sold in this casual and dangerous way. Thank you

A cat may not have good road sentence but after all , it’s still a living animal , some pet and part of the family . It’s unfair that people get away with this , as it’s very upsetting to lose a pet

The horses on hever road have been there over 50 years , now it’s all being sectioned off with sharp metal fencing the horses are scared and unsettled . We need to come together as a community and speak up to save them and the field that they belong in from any unsightly changes. Many family’s have, do, and will enjoy spending time down this natural beauty spot petting and feeding the horses. Why change such a beautiful place?

I feel this is important because underneath our human bodies we are just like them we eat we sleep we kill we stay together. To kill a shark would be to kill a human example 'if you kill a human you may love damage to family and friends and loved ones,what's to say these sharks dont gave familys and friends and loved one. I have followed sharks all my life they can be the most gentlest creature if just watch them and approached in a calming matter they have no reason to cause you any harm. I see a lot of countries like cutting them up for soup'food'clothing or medicine I find it absolutely appalling what if that was you they were chopping up for food'clothing or medicine or what if it was a family member for example a mother'father'daughter'son'relative or friend you would be heart broken and you would want justice brought to the people that did it. Well now I feel that justice should be brought forward for the sharks dont see why a creatures life is worth more than any humans,we evolved around these creatures for millions of years and learnt to live with them but now people just want to use them for there parts. Soon there wont be any sharks around for people to look at or sea either in the wild or in captivity because the people of different countries wish to kill them all. So I'm asking the world to now notice this is wrong and help petition for a ban against the killing of sharks'take a look at yourselves you wouldent kill your family for items,well sharks have families to think of what your doing before it's to late Thank you I hope you listen Sincerely,Brenden skeet

I’m a retired nurse, who’s trying to support friends and colleagues still working. It’s utterly heartbreaking. They’ve been sent into war without body armour. I’m deliberately drawing parallels to war remembrance. Their sacrifice, knowingly going into battle, knowing they are not protected properly is a demonstration of incredible bravery. Not all brave people are warriors.

They are unsafe, being effectively uncontrollable incendiary bombs They are also harmful to wildlife Several councils in the UK have banned their release on council land.. so let’s just stop them altogether https://www.countrysideonline.co.uk/care-for-the-countryside/sky-lanterns/

Covid-19 already may have killed many residents & may be carers in those homes
