Rejected petition Establish a UK Standard for the Humane Slaughter and Labelling of Farm Animals.
We are calling on the UK Government to introduce a clear, legally defined national standard for the humane slaughter of farm animals, and to require transparent labelling on all meat sold in the UK.
More details
This petition aims to improve animal welfare, ensure honest consumer information, and create a fair, consistent standard for all meat sold in the UK. Only with Government support and legislation can the UK public have confidence in the animal meat they are buying was humanely slaughtered with the welfare of the animal taking priority.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
In respect of UK-slaughtered meat this is generally already happening - in respect of non-stun slaughtered animals we already have petitions open on this (at the link below). The petition was also unclear as to whether you might in fact be referring to meat slaughtered abroad.
