(Estimated Final Signatures: 585,846 - 4,512 added in the past 24hrs)

The government is aware of the potential irreversible impact (physical and emotional) of puberty blockers, having acknowledged an 'unacceptable safety risk’ following the Cass Review. Yet, hundreds of children are about to be given puberty blockers under a government-sanctioned trial.

Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only - 192,327 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 200,298 - 220 added in the past 24hrs)

Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks.

I believe that permitting unregulated use of fireworks is an act of wide-scale cruelty to animals.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government recognises the negative impact fireworks can have on some people and animals. However, when used responsibly they are a source of enjoyment for many people.

Reduce the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels - 179,465 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 184,240 - 99 added in the past 24hrs)

We think each year, individuals suffer because of loud fireworks. We believe horses, dogs, cats, livestock and wildlife can be terrified by noisy fireworks and many people find them intolerable.

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government recognises that some people have strong feelings about fireworks and has been listening to concerns raised by members of the public regarding the impact of firework noise.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 129,290 - 93 added in the past 24hrs)

Keep section 1 firearm & section 2 shotgun licensing separate. I think this would help to protect law-abiding owners, the shooting industry, & rural communities. Policies should focus on real public safety issues without burdening responsible citizens or damaging heritage & livelihoods.

The Government has committed to a public consultation on strengthening licensing controls on shotguns. We will consider all views submitted during the consultation before deciding on further action.

End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 76,799 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 127,325 - 15,825 added in the past 24hrs)

Many tests on dogs and other animals cause unimaginable suffering. They can translate poorly into effective treatments and cures for human diseases or provide safety and efficacy data that is not relevant to humans.

The Government responsed to this petition on 13th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The use of animals for development of products for human use remains necessary. The Government therefore does not agree to end testing on dogs and other animals for testing and research purposes.
