Petition Ban the sale of rope toys for animals

Ban the sale of rope toys for animals. String and rope are classified as foreign bodies which are dangerous and can cause blockages and death in animals.

More details

There is no official, government-mandated ban on the sale of rope toys for animals in the UK. As the toy frays or is chewed, animals can swallow the individual threads or larger pieces of rope. These linear foreign objects can travel along the intestines, causing severe internal damage, blockages, or a potentially fatal "drawstring" effect where the intestines are damaged. It was too late for our little two year old boy dog "Chip" the rope had severed his intestines and bowel. Please ban them.
