Rejected petition Make the next Doctor Who a VEGAN!!

Glad the BBC has chosen to represent women by making Jodie Whittaker the newest Doctor Who, but I believe it's vital the BBC sends a message to protect our animals & environment by ensuring the next doctor is an open & proud vegan!

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 BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.

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