Get emmerdale to scrap the dog theft story line & make a public apology

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Emmerdale are currently airing a story line where Ross is stealing people's dogs for the ransom.

This is a horrendous thing to air and promote ,

Dog theft is at an all time high in the UK , and will no doubt go up even further when the idea is put into more people's minds by airing it on one of the largest soaps in the UK !

Emmerdale should scrap the storyline and make a public apology and a donation to a dog charity aimed at helping reunite dogs with their owners such as murphy's army

Why it was rejected

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