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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about hunting, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We could accept a petition calling for trail hunting to be banned, but you would need to provide your full name.

Enforcement of bans on hunting is a matter for the police, not the Government or House of Commons.

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