Rejected petition Make animal abuse reportable on UK operating social media platforms

Animal abuse is prolific on social media shared by members of the public and large social media pages. Currently it is not possible to report animal abuse images/videos on many social media sites. Viral posts harm individual animals and contribute to illegal trade, causing near extinctions.
