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 only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

We are sorry to hear about your friend's kitten, but decisions about when to open are a matter for individual veterinarians, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to set up a publicly-funded healthcare service for pets, which could be open all the time, if that's something you'd like to happen.

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