Ban the use of horses in the police force

Closed 599 signatures

What the petition asks

In light of recent events I believe it is necessary to ban the use of horses by the police, especially when it comes to large crowds and protests that could potentially turn violent. These high-risk situations can put innocent horses in danger and this is not needed to control crowds.
