Ban Police using Horses to control Protests and Riots

Petition Details

Police in the UK often use Horses to control riots and protests. This means that Horses are often subjected to very frightening scenes, and they are often wrongfully targeted by the public. The several cases of injured horses, pedestrians and police officers call for an end to the usage of horses.

Additional Information

The only way we can be sure that horses are not injured during protests and riots is to exclude them from current and future Police Methods of riot control.
