Rejected petition Allow the transport of rescued animals during the COVID-19 crisis

Many cats, dogs and other animals are at risk and in need of urgent foster care as more people become ill or lose their jobs during this crisis.

We ask the goverment to amend the current travel restrictions to allow the transport of animals for the purpose of rescue as essential travel.

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Since you started your petition, some measure have now been lifted, allowing rescue centres to resume re-homing.
