What the petition asks

After Fife Council rejected me for temporary accommodation, I became homeless. It was because I have two dogs (both relaxed and obedient) - my family.
This petition is to change policy and make sure that nobody should have to be separated from their beloved pet(s) just for temporary accommodation.

My name is John Hunter and this is my story. --> https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/fife/525139/everybody-looks-like-im-scum-ill-health-left-fife-man-facing-misery-homelessness/

I don't know where I'd be without my dogs and would rather be homeless than leave them (even for a short time). I strongly believe that nobody should have to decide between a roof over their heads or their pets. It is just not right in this day and age.

Why it was rejected

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

Your petition is about something that the Scottish Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee. You can get in contact with them at [email protected].
