Rejected petition Make slaughterhouse visits compulsory for all school children
From birth children are conditioned to become selectively compassionate. They're told that it's 'normal', 'natural' and 'necessary' to exploit some species of sentient beings ('farmed' animals) but wrong to abuse others ('pets') in the same way. All children should see the true impact of farming.

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Parliament and Government aren't responsible for school visits.
You could start a new petition about something the UK Parliament and Government are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking for animal welfare in farming, including slaughter, to be added to the national curriculum.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
