Ban the use of horses for crowd control

What the petition asks
As has been demonstrated recently, horses have no place in crowd control. Even if they’re trained, they can be unpredictable and not only dangerous to humans, but to themselves. Simply put, horses are not suitable or safe in this decade to be used to control crowds.
The Government should introduce legislation which would ban the use of police horses to control crowds, particularly in city areas where they pose a danger to the public and themselves.
