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.
The restrictions on the import of red eared sliders aren't specific to BNO passport holders entering the UK, but are a national ban on their import.
You could start a petition calling for the Government to overturn this ban in all cases, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
