Ban the use of horses being used with the police.

What the petition asks
I want to ban the use of horses being used in the police force and being used to prevent riots or protests as I feel they’re being used for the wrong reasons and should not be used to prevent crime.
It is not fair on the horses to be used in crime prevention as they are being hurt and mistreated.
