We need the government to make it a low that if people spreading and putting rat or any poison in public parks and rugby and football fields or any field should get a custodial sentence just like dog kidnappers do

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 toxic substances being released in public areas, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

There are already a number of offences that cover the release of poison or noxious things, and causing harm to animals.

Decisions about investigating alleged offences and prosecuting these are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons.
