Ban the advertising of products which are not plant-based and cruelty-free

Closed 61 signatures

What the petition asks

In the interest of the health of our people, our planet and the exploitation of animals, the Government should ban all advertising of all food, drink, health/beauty, household and clothing products which are not plant-based and cruelty free, including their packaging.
With COP26 in November 2021, we have to start viewing these types of products in a similar way as we do tobacco.

This ban would not prevent the sale of these products but would make them less attractive. Additionally, this ban would incentivise organisations into producing their products in a much more sustainable way and/or consider plant-based/cruelty free alternatives.

By making these changes, organisations could then take full advantage of the benefits of a multi channel marketing campaign.
