Require coconut be labelled as an allergen on food packaging
- 325 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 325 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Require coconut be labelled as a mandatory allergen on all food packaging. Any product containing coconut must clearly list it. Other countries, including the US and Canada, already require this. Clear labelling could protect children and adults at risk of life-threatening reactions and death.
Introduce a higher, sector-specific Minimum Wage for PCAs and veterinary nurses
- 274 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 274 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Require veterinary employers to increase wages to £14 per hour for patient care assistants and £15.50 for vet nurses/vet techs. We feel the industry is extremely taxing on mental and physical health and has extremely high standards set in place.
Ban chemical flame retardants in UK furniture to align with EU standards
- 150 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 151 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Ban chemical flame retardant in UK furniture which may cause harm. Studies link such chemicals to cancer & other serious health risks. UK rules expose households to potentially higher levels than the EU. Reform fire safety laws to eliminate unnecessary toxic exposure in homes & protect public health
Remove Wels catfish non-native invasive status, review restrictions on stocking
- 32 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 32 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to reclassify Wels catfish (Silurus glanis) from "non-native invasive" to "non-native" only, similar to Common Carp. Alongside this, review and update the Import of Live Fish Act 1980 to allow more flexible licensing for stocking in managed, low-risk fisheries across the UK.
Create a Charter of Stewardship for farming, food & heritage sports sectors
- 18 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 18 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Create a Charter of Stewardship for farmers, butchers, fishmongers & those in heritage sports. The Charter should repeal 2026 digital reporting mandates, protect the Section 2 license distinction, halt bird shooting bans & bring forward a Farmer-Led Land Use Framework over industrial rewilding.
PETA, an organisation that is meant to be dedicated to protecting animals, has proposed to the UK government that it should add Staffordshire Bull Terriers to the dangerous dogs act, effectively banning them outright. Breed Specific Legislation is not the solution to the problem of dog attacks.

- Final Signatures: 19,829
GBGB figures show 1,003 dogs were killed and 4,837 were injured as a direct result of greyhound racing in 2017 alone. These figures could be grossly underestimated because the GBGB are not independently audited. Dogs can be legally killed on economic grounds and not necessarily by a vet.
The Government responsed to this petition on 25th October 2018 (View Full Response)Thousands of cats are just disposed of every year without being scanned for a chip after being involved in RTAs. Owners search for months and years and never get closure. Scanning takes two minutes. Cats are a part of a family and deserve to be returned home, not thrown into landfill.
