Some companies already operate an optional Stray & Working Animal Welfare Award that supports measures including veterinary care, neutering, access to food and clean water. We believe this shows such standards are achievable. We believe basic welfare procedures should not be optional and travel companies should ensure contracted hotels have appropriate measures in place.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":22,"closing_date":"2027-04-09","created_at":"2026-09-13T10:06:00.547Z","updated_at":"2026-10-10T12:37:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-09T13:15:14.303Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-13T10:34:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Emily Hillier","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DCMS","name":"Department for Culture, Media and Sport","url":""}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":22}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Chester South and Eddisbury","ons_code":"E14001164","mp":"Aphra Brandreth MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Christchurch","ons_code":"E14001171","mp":"Sir Christopher Chope MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gillingham and Rainham","ons_code":"E14001246","mp":"Naushabah Khan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Buckinghamshire","ons_code":"E14001360","mp":"Greg Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"New Forest East","ons_code":"E14001373","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Julian Lewis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Southampton Itchen","ons_code":"E14001499","mp":"Darren Paffey MP","signature_count":5},{"name":"Southampton Test","ons_code":"E14001500","mp":"Satvir Kaur MP","signature_count":10},{"name":"Winchester","ons_code":"E14001587","mp":"Dr Danny Chambers MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":19},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
