What the petition asks
Stop using police horses. Horses need to stop being put in dangerous situations. End the use of horses in riots and crowd control. Horses are sentient animals. End the use of horses within the police.
Its cruel and out dated to use sentient animals in this way. Horses end up injured and involved in situations that are dangerous. Horse don't belong in riots, or on patrol in cities. They deserve to live free from harm.
