Current Signatures	Title	Petition Deadline
143,635 Petition Closed	Make pet theft crime a specific offence with custodial sentences. Gov Responded - 31 Mar 2020 Debated on - 19 Oct 2020 View Dr Lisa Cameron's petition debate contributions	4 Sep 2020 closed 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Pet Theft Reform 2020: Revise the sentencing guidelines in the Theft Act 1968 to reclassify pet theft as a specific crime. Ensure that monetary value is irrelevant for the categorisation of dog and cat theft crime for sentencing purposes. Recognise pet theft as a category 2 offence or above.
150,324 Petition Closed	Immunity for soldiers who worked in Northern Ireland. Gov Responded - 1 Apr 2019 Debated on - 20 May 2019 View Dr Lisa Cameron's petition debate contributions	13 Sep 2019 closed 1 year, 4 months ago
Do not prosecute the military for its work in Northern Ireland. Our military should be excused all criminal investigations after a period of time.
105,362 Petition Closed	Create a new independent welfare body to protect racehorses from abuse and death Gov Responded - 19 Mar 2018 Debated on - 15 Oct 2018 View Dr Lisa Cameron's petition debate contributions	13 Aug 2018 closed 2 years, 5 months ago
The British Horseracing Authority is responsible for race horse welfare. But around 200 horses die each year due to racing in Britain. We urge the government to set up an independent regulatory body, with horse welfare as its only interest, which will take meaningful action to stop horses dying.
107,352 Petition Closed	Reclassify the theft of a pet to a specific crime in its own right. Gov Responded - 27 Feb 2018 Debated on - 2 Jul 2018 View Dr Lisa Cameron's petition debate contributions	8 Aug 2018 closed 2 years, 5 months ago
Review the sentencing guidelines for theft offences, so that where the theft of a family pet is involved, monetary value is irrelevant for the categorisation of the crime for sentencing purposes. Ensure Police Forces are given appropriate guidance and training to record and investigate cases.
148,248 Petition Closed	Ban the sale of puppies by pet shops & all commercial 3rd party dealers. Gov Responded - 20 Mar 2018 Debated on - 21 May 2018 View Dr Lisa Cameron's petition debate contributions	1 Sep 2018 closed 2 years, 4 months ago
Removing puppies for sale from litter & mum often creates sick, traumatised, dysfunctional dogs. Puppies should be seen with their mum & transporting them to a different place for sale harms welfare. Regulating commercial 3rd party sales is ineffective to prevent harm & a ban is therefore necessary.
