This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Stop the mistreatment of horse by stopping grazing on common land
The mistreatment of animals must stop whenever necessary
More details
Currently in Cardiff there are possible 20 horses left to graze on public land between Newport and Cardiff . My opinion is that these actions should become illegal, cruelty must stop. These horses are alone 24 hours a day , tied between 2 to 3 metres from busy main road. Passing traffic includes lots of HGV's. They are not provided with any shelter or food .

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Your petition is about something that the Welsh Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it. The Welsh Assembly has passed a law, called the Control of Horses (Wales) Act 2014.
The Welsh Assembly has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Welsh Assembly, to ask for the law on horses on public land to be changed, you can find out more here:
