Ban rodenticide from public sale

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Pet deaths are becoming increasingly common due to poisoned rodents and it is causing them unnecessary pain and death. We want the laws to be changed so that the general public don’t have access to these poisons and risk our pets.
It is important that this is a law change rather than suggestion so that it is taken seriously by the public. Plenty of animals are put at risk due to uneducated individuals placing poison down in areas that are readily available for pets as well as rodents.
