Force airlines and Eurostar to allow dogs, cats and other pets in cabins.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Force airlines and Eurostar to accept dogs, cats and pets smaller than 8kg in cabins on UK routes. Since Eurostar has a monopoly on this route, it should accept animals allowed under the Pet Passport scheme. Force airlines and ferries to report injuries, losses or deaths to animals in their care.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be an operational decision for airlines and Eurostar. You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to require all airlines and train companies operating in the UK to allow dogs and other pets in cabins.
