Rejected petition Make it illegal to refuse a dog treatment at a vets based on cropped ears

In Nala’s name we ask that veterinary practices are stopped from refusing medical treatment because the dog has cropped ears.
The dog is not accountable for their ears being cropped, and should not be condemned to death or harm based on assumptions and labelling theory.

More details

No dog should ever be refused treatment because of something that is out of the dogs control.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about whether to provide veterinary services are a matter for individual veterinary practices, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
