End the use of all antibiotics as growth promoters in animals
Sweeden have ended the use of antibiotics as growth promoters, setting an example to us all.
A report calling for the immediate end to the use of antibiotics as growth promoters can be found at

Leaving the EU may mean that this is an issue, along with other animal welfare and health issues, such as genetically modified crops, growth promoters and hormone fed food, which may be used to gain a trade deal with the USA, where the use of antibiotics is widespread.
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 use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animals was banned in the UK and the rest of the EU in 2006. We are therefore unsure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
