This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Animal cruelty is already a criminal offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, so we're not sure what other action you'd like Government or Parliament to take.

If you're concerned about a specific incident, you may wish to report it directly to the RSPCA:

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
