release the restriction of import red eared slider to UK for bno holders
since many HK bno holders have been keeping red eared slider. since UK gov permitted immigration of bno, but this species was abandoned import. can the UK gov assist or any solution to this issue?
as HK people living in small flats, or even public housing estate limited keeping dogs, cats as pet. most HK people would keep small animals such as turtle, and the red eared slider is most likely the majority. many keeper has been keeping the slider for decades.
Besides, the change of political environment in HK. many bno holder would like to apply the bno visa to UK. However, the restriction of import red eared slider made us confused and frustrated.
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 restrictions on the import of red eared sliders aren't specific to BNO passport holders entering the UK, but are a national ban on their import.
You could start a petition calling for the Government to overturn this ban in all cases, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
