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:
The decision of whether a school adopts a rescue animal is one for the individual school and its leadership teams to make.
You could have a petition calling for more sessions with therapy animals or more classes on animal welfare to be taught in schools if that's what you would like to see happen.
Do remember if you start a petition to use an individual full name as we don't accept petitions from organisations
