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:
All cetaceans (including dolphins) are legally protected throughout Europe under the Habitats Directive, and specifically in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Under UK law it is illegal to:
- kill or injure a cetacean intentionally
- ‘recklessly disturb’ a cetacean - for example to cause it distress by chasing it in a boat
