Rejected petition Make the Red Fox national animal of England instead of a non native Lion.

Currently the national animal of England is a Lion which is a non native species. It would be a lot more fitting to have an animal native to our shores as a national animal.
The Red Fox is the perfect animal I think to represent our country and English ways.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the association of the lion with England is a matter of tradition and not something with a formal status that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.

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