Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure whether you mean a tax on the purchase of a dog, additional taxes on other elements of dog ownership or something else. You could start a petition setting out more clearly how this would work.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
