1. End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 107,994 signatures
2. Require generative AI watermarks & ban using people’s likeness without consent - 3,074 signatures
3. We require a public poll on 20 mph speed limits as the Welsh people are being ignored - 2,387 signatures

In addition, there should be no word limits and petitions should be published immediately. Only those containing offensive content should be removed.

We believe the current petitions process is flawed because it does not require the Government to take any action, other than a response. Debates are usually held once 100k signatures are reached but rarely results in change. Character limits in the current process can make it difficult to articulate what action you want the Government to take. The majority of mine have been rejected on these grounds.
