Closed petition Ban classroom pets in schools

More details

So that children don't have to go to school, and working adults who get bank holidays off don't have to go to work, the day after Halloween, when many children and parents are tired.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
