(Estimated Final Signatures: 432,559 - 1,536 added in the past 24hrs)

Open Petition since 14th February 2025

Ban immediately the use of dogs in scientific and regulatory procedures - 245,770 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 276,732 - 2,941 added in the past 24hrs)

As a first step to end animal testing, we want an immediate ban for dogs. They are commercially bred in what we see as bleak and inhumane factory-like conditions. We believe there is evidence suggesting that dogs are left being unattended for extended periods in a Government-licenced establishment.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 28th April 2025

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th March 2025 (View Full Response)
The government does not agree to the proposed immediate ban as international guidance still requires data from animal testing to ensure the safety of medicines and products before testing in humans.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 270,284 - 118 added in the past 24hrs)

Raise the income tax personal allowance from £12570 to £20000. We think this would help low earners to get off benefits and allow pensioners a decent income.

Support in education is a vital legal right of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We ask the government to commit to maintaining the existing law, so that vulnerable children with SEND can access education and achieve their potential.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th June 2025 (View Full Response)
As part of our Plan for Change, we will restore families’ confidence and ensure that children with SEND will get the tailored support they need to achieve and thrive.

Protect Northern Ireland Veterans from Prosecutions - 136,043 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 149,982 - 95 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd June 2025 (View Full Response)
The last Government’s Legacy Act was wrong and was found to be unlawful. It was opposed by many, including some families who lost relatives serving in Operation Banner.

End the use of cages and crates for all farmed animals - 105,008 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 106,362 - 35 added in the past 24hrs)

We think the UK Government must ban all cages for laying hens as soon as possible.

• farrowing crates for sows
• individual calf pens
• cages for other birds, including partridges, pheasants and quail

Introduce Licensing and Regulation for Dog and Cat Rescues to Protect Welfare - 49,778 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 99,877 - 489 added in the past 24hrs)

Many UK animal rescues operate without clear legal oversight, creating opportunities for unethical practices. Some rescues have been linked to supporting irresponsible breeding, neglecting animals, or misusing public donations.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th June 2025 (View Full Response)
Animal rescue organisations must meet existing statutory welfare requirements. Moving forward, we are developing an overarching approach to animal welfare and will outline more detail in due course.
