What the petition asks
I am asking all people to please sign this petition to get it heard in parliament for UK manufacturers to make a stand and show the world we don’t condone animal cruelty or destroying their homes for our simple pleasures. One Small change will make one big difference.
"The establishment of palm oil plantations has been a disaster not only for endangered wildlife such as orangutans and tigers (in Sumatra) but has also exacerbated conflict with local communities in Indonesia over traditional land rights. Local people have been evicted from their customary land holdings and local communities impoverished, leading to much conflict with palm oil concession companies."
