String and rope are classified as foreign bodies which are dangerous and can cause blockages and death in animals.","additional_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.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":52,"created_at":"2025-12-31T11:58:01.601Z","updated_at":"2026-03-07T00:14:20.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-01-30T11:55:34.498Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-12-31T12:44:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Emma Broomfield","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DEFRA","name":"Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":52}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bracknell","ons_code":"E14001117","mp":"Peter Swallow MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brent West","ons_code":"E14001123","mp":"Barry Gardiner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brentford and Isleworth","ons_code":"E14001124","mp":"Ruth Cadbury MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Brentwood and Ongar","ons_code":"E14001125","mp":"Alex Burghart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bristol South","ons_code":"E14001135","mp":"Karin Smyth MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chorley","ons_code":"E14001170","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derbyshire Dales","ons_code":"E14001195","mp":"John Whitby MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Eastleigh","ons_code":"E14001220","mp":"Liz Jarvis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Esher and Walton","ons_code":"E14001230","mp":"Monica Harding MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Exeter","ons_code":"E14001231","mp":"Steve Race MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Feltham and Heston","ons_code":"E14001236","mp":"Seema Malhotra MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Guildford","ons_code":"E14001258","mp":"Zöe Franklin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hertsmere","ons_code":"E14001284","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Oliver Dowden MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Buckinghamshire","ons_code":"E14001360","mp":"Greg Smith MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"New Forest East","ons_code":"E14001373","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Julian Lewis MP","signature_count":9},{"name":"New Forest West","ons_code":"E14001374","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Desmond Swayne MP","signature_count":7},{"name":"Poole","ons_code":"E14001429","mp":"Neil Duncan-Jordan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Queen's Park and Maida Vale","ons_code":"E14001435","mp":"Georgia Gould MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ribble Valley","ons_code":"E14001443","mp":"Maya Ellis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Sheffield Heeley","ons_code":"E14001469","mp":"Rt Hon Louise Haigh MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West Devon","ons_code":"E14001495","mp":"Rebecca Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stretford and Urmston","ons_code":"E14001528","mp":"Andrew Western MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Whitehaven and Workington","ons_code":"E14001583","mp":"Josh MacAlister MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Widnes and Halewood","ons_code":"E14001584","mp":"Derek Twigg MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Woking","ons_code":"E14001592","mp":"Mr Will Forster MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bathgate and Linlithgow","ons_code":"S14000068","mp":"Kirsteen Sullivan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe","ons_code":"W07000085","mp":"David Chadwick MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Cardiff North","ons_code":"W07000090","mp":"Anna McMorrin MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":6},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":2},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":7},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":23},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":6},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":2},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
