Hi, I am Amy Hobson. My 4 year old daughter was attacked by an American bulldog and she had to have surgery and over 40 stitches to her face. I want a ban on dangerous dogs. There needs to be a license put in place to own certain dogs. There needs to be more support after dog attacks for people and children. This is important because there is to many dog attacks happening and nothing is really being done about it, there are no campaigns out there. There is no support out there for after dog attacks to help people get through it or over come what happened.

The Victoria Linen Works building on Clair Street, Scotland’s last surviving linen factory, is a testament to Kirkcaldy and Fife’s industrial heritage. Now it's to be destroyed for a cut and paste Farmfoods Store! Generations of locals were employed there, and many gave long-service to a company with a paternal approach to its workforce. Their hard work and memories are to be erased with the wreckers demolition ball, lost forever and replaced by nothing. Stop the demolition and instead redevelop and retain the building. Farmfoods or any other store would then have a more prominent standing and reputation within the town along with the retail value of the building being higher as well as the surrounding neighbourhood. The destruction is completely short sighted and a complete loss to everyone. Don't destroy, renovate and grow.

Marius, the baby giraffe killed in Copenhagen then later dissected in front of visitors; A three month old baby bear in Sweden, killed because he was being bullied by his father, later stuffed to show the public; Nine lion cubs in Sweden, killed for being “surplus”; Sammi and Becca, two piglets in Edinburgh zoo, killed by the zoos vet to, ironically, adhere to the european breeding project in which “surplus” animals are to be put to death; A zebra in Norway, killed and given to a lion in front of visitors; seven healthy lion cubs killed in the notorious south lakes zoo just for being born; even as recent as April of 2023 in Dundee, Scotland, where four wolves were killed just because they displayed anxiety after their leader was euthanised following an operation. The list is horrifically long, too long to include here. The figure given by zoos in Europe for the number of “surplus” animals killed is 7,500, though the actual number is likely far greater. This is unfortunately taking place on a far too regular basis. Contemporary zoos and other animal organisations perpetuate their narrative of being for the safety and conservation of animals. In what way does culling animals that are healthy achieve this? Throughout the world, wild groups of animals are culled, the reason given being for the benefit of the group by removing ill or elderly members or condensing the group to prevent food shortages. This reason is also given for culled animals in captivity, however this issue is supposed to be impossible in zoos, and often one of the reasons that they are in captivity to begin with. If there are too many of an animal then they shouldn’t be in captivity as they’re not in need of conservation. There are a huge number of endangered or vulnerable animals that could be in conservation areas instead. Along with banning this hideous aspect of captivity, statistics for animal deaths should be published to prove they were necessary. While we unfortunately aren’t capable of changing the laws of these other countries just yet, we can demand justice for zoo animals in the United Kingdom, and urge the government to protect them from these disgusting, senseless deaths. After all, if you and your families lives were in the hands of others, wouldn’t you want them to be safe and free from an environment where whether they live or die is essentially a game of Russian roulette?

In the last few months, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been in the headlines and making huge leaps forward. But with the emergence of AI comes risks. AI has already shown signs of bias, given out false information and could cause a huge number of job losses. And thousands of tech insiders have even called on the development to be paused. It’s so important we don’t waste time regulating AI like we have done with our gambling laws. The way people gamble now is unrecognisable since they were last updated in 2005. But thanks to campaigners and people all across the country, the gambling act is being changed by the government for the digital age. There’s no reason why new laws cannot be next on their list to ensure artificial intelligence is used correctly.

Two years ago I was one of the nine million adults in the UK who can't read. I could not read my daughter's school report, and I could not read the manuals for the machines I service at work. Now with the help of a reading charity, Read Easy, and its volunteer coaches, I can read well, and write this petition. Now I can help my daughter with her homework, and I have been given more responsibility by my employer. I have tried to encourage people by talking to newspapers, on the radio, and on TV. Now I am asking the Education Minister to ensure that the sort of assistance I was given will be available for all of those nine million people that want it. If you are fortunate enough to find reading easy, you probably had no idea how many people in this country find it impossible. Please sign this petition to help me put pressure on the government to help those people, and hopefully make the changes to their lives that I've been lucky enough to have.

How would you feel if you were dying for the toilet and couldn’t go? On top of that to hold it in can make you very ill. You would get arrested or fined if you did it on the street and not everyone can hold it in!

ScotRail are proposing to end the fast, limited stop, servcies between Glasgow and Inverclyde. This will affect both the Gourock and Wemyss Bay lines. This would have a detrimental effect on people who rely on the trains and would represent a significant reduction in service in Inverclyde and in the quality of those services. At a time when we are trying to persuade people to leave their cars at home, this risks undermining these messages and putting more pressure on Inverclyde's roads. It also undermines local economic development and projects currently being undertaken by the UK and Scottish Governments and Inverclyde Council to reverse depopulation. We are addressing this petition to both Scotrail and the Scottish Government, who own ScotRail. By joining this campaign you can make your voice heard and tell ScotRail and the Scottish Government that we do not want these services cut.

People across East End Park, Burmantofts, Harehills, Cross Green, Richmond Hill and Saxton Gardens rely of the 87 bus route to get them to and from town, St James's hospital and other parts of the city. First Bus needs to reconsider its decision to cancel the service on evenings and weekends and put people living locally before profits.

Please help us save our Disability Hubs Shop Mobility Antrim. In a few months time we are losing our funding. People rely on this community service to be able to get out and about. People are going to be suffering alone and become more depressed without this service. It is a vital service in our community for people with disabilities. Please please help save our service.

The Bee Team has been an important part of Heron Hill school for many years. Please sign this in support of the wonderful work they do in the hope that something can be done.

Boris Johnson has announced he is joining GB News and will be hosting a show during the UK elections. Our media regulator, Ofcom, has rules that TV stations can’t use their broadcasts to influence viewers to vote for any party or person. A former Prime Minister on a channel that has breached impartiality rules before could be a recipe for disaster for our democracy. We don't have to agree with everything GB News does or says, but we should expect them to be held to the same high standards that other UK news outlets have to follow. Instead we're seeing a slippery slope where GB News could become the Fox News of the UK. A huge petition signed by thousands of us calling on Ofcom to make sure their rules are strong enough to hold ALL news stations to account and make sure that GB News doesn't drag down the standards of news in the UK would show Ofcom that we expect them to do their job properly and stop UK news sliding down to the sorry state it is in the USA.

As well as fire and environmental damage, the noise pollution from the site will be a continuous buzzing from the air conditioning units, and the 600 shipping containers (equivalent to about 40 full size football pitches!) housing the millions of lithium ion batteries will ruin the landscape as seen from Weymouth looking back up towards the countryside beyond.
