Rejected petition Ban the use of Glyphosate to protect our children, pets, wildlife and ecosystem

Rejected on 25 July 2019

Our local council but many councils in the UK are using Glyphosate as a weedkiller and many children, pets, some of which have been put down, and our ecosystem such as bees and butterflies are being killed due to the strength and toxicity. It is also known to be carcinogenic.

With our local council they recently sprayed every tree with Glyphosate including in parks where children play and dogs are walked. During the time, the contractors sprayed,children were sick as well as dogs that were sick and some cats that had to be put to sleep after having their nose and mouth burned off. My own dog suffered swollen eyes, burns on her skin and lost fur from contact with this poison and now is also damage to her liver. Many bees and butterflies have also been killed off
