Ban the use and sale of rat poison

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

We need to get a ban on the use and sale of rat poison after pets have accidentally eaten it. People have used it to purposely poison pets by throwing it in gardens and streets!
This is despicable and something needs to change to stop this happening. Our pets and children are at risk!
Ban the use and sale of poisons to stop our children, pets and wildlife being at risk of malicious or accidental poisoning which can, and has, lead to death!
