What the petition asks

Please can you make eurotunnel a BIP as so many animals have loving homes waiting in the UK.. So many rescue animals who go on traces to the UK
If this stops so many will suffer..
Many people adopt from abroad as so many animals need loving homes and they wouldnt get it in their country of origin..
So many animals get abandoned in Europe
Please help us get them to the UK

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you're concerned about the arrangements for transporting animals using Eurotunnel, but it's not clear what action you want the Government to take about this.

There are not Border Control Posts at stations served by Eurotunnel, but this does not prevent animals from being transported on Eurotunnel: https://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/brexit/how-will-brexit-affect-my-pet-passport/

If Great Britain becomes an unlisted country, which will be a matter for agreement between the EU and UK, then EU pet passports will cease to be valid from 1 January 2021: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pet-travel-to-europe-after-brexit#if-great-britain-becomes-an-unlisted-country
