Rejected petition Stop animal testing worldwide.

In 1998, animals being tested on for cosmetic products was banned in the UK, with the ban in the EU fully taking effect in 2013. However, animals can still be tested on for medical research. Why do we want animals to suffer treatment that may or may not fix our problems, especially out house pets?

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The UK Government and Parliament don't have the power to make this change worldwide.

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to encourage the governments of other countries to ban animal testing, if that's what you'd like to happen.

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