Rejected petition: Make sharks the national animal of the UK
Rejected on
The UK Government should give sharks the status of "National Animal".
We believe that having served the UK waters for so long, sharks should be considered to be a national animal. This will also increase education and awareness about all species of sharks, so will improve society on the whole.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The UK doesn't have a national animal status to be given by the Government to sharks, or to any other animal.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
