Rejected petition Stop the use of working horses in the police force.

In recent events, we have seen police horses being abused whilst being used at riots. I feel this is unnecessary and cowardly. It is despicable that people are harming them, but it is also despicable that they are being used as weapons to intimidate crowds at riots, both now and in the past.

More details

I want the Government or Parliament to ban the use of horses by the police, especially in riots and football matches.
