Ban classroom pets in schools

What the petition asks
I’d like it to be made illegal to get classroom pets in schools. One of the most common class pets is a hamster. Hamsters are one of the most neglected animals due to improper care and neglect, which can be a particular issue for classroom pets in schools.
So that children don't have to go to school, and working adults who get bank holidays off don't have to go to work, the day after Halloween, when many children and parents are tired.
