Allow small pets to travel to UK in aircraft cabin.
Ever tried going on holiday with your best friend?
Unfortunately for pet owners that live in the UK the options are limited: 1. leave your dog in a kennel (if family/friends is not an option) 2. take your pet with you and return via ferry or car 3. ship your pet as cargo in the hold.
Putting a pet in cargo (if your pet is not snub nosed like mine) is very risky and traumatic, especially for long flights. For those with pets that comply with cabin regulations, it is simply unnecessary to either not be able to fly into Britain or have to leave a pet behind for an extended period of time.
Why are we able to fly out with pets in cabin and not back into the UK?
The British are among the biggest animal-lovers in the world. Let's make it easier to enjoy family holidays together!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be an operational decision for airlines. You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to require all airlines operating in the UK to allow small pets in cabins.
