Require tracking of companion animal euthanasia to prevent unnecessary deaths - 10,411 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,411 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)

Every day healthy and treatable companion animals are put to sleep not because they are old or because they are beyond help but because there are limited places for them to go

Their lives end quietly in pounds, commercial kennels, veterinary practices and rescues, often unseen and unrecorded.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th October 2026 (View Full Response)
The vast majority of pet euthanasia cases are for health and welfare reasons to relieve suffering. There is no indication of systemic issues that would necessitate new reporting obligations.
