This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

A non-native species is a species that has been introduced into the country by human intervention (either deliberately or accidentally) since the end of the last ice age (approx ten thousand years ago).

You may wish to resubmit a petition asking the Government to reconsider how it classifies certain species as native or non-native.
