Remove the use of horses from the police task force

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To remove the use of horses from the metropolitan police and their uses for protest control
Because they’re are more than one way to control people and using animals as a way to control large numbers of people is out dated and unsafe. More harm is caused to them by using them to in force control rather than to safeguard people
