Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
I want the government or parliament to ban poison bait stations and make pest control companies use non lethal methods. That won't affect other wildlife animals. Cats and the environment.
Using poison bait stations is disgusting.and cruel. Which causes unnecessary suffering.When rats and mice. eat it they go off and die. A fox or cat maybe a bird of prey will pick up the dead rodent.and get poisoned too leading to death.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about poison bait stations, but we're not sure if you just want pest control companies to be banned from using these stations, or for their use to be banned entirely. We're also not sure if you want only this type of lethal pest control method to be banned, as your petition refers to requiring pest control companies to use non-lethal methods instead.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
