Hi everyone, I need some help with getting signatures for my petition!
In the county where I live there is an annual event that includes a pet show, where people register their pets to be picked as a winner, and while I disagree with the entirety of the pet show, the worst part is that they are allowing rabbits and other small, prey animals to be registered too.
If anyone here has the absolute pleasure of looking after rescue/adopted rabbits, you will be very aware of how sensitive and easily startled they can be. They are not meant for loud, busy family shows far from the comfort of their home. They will be already severely distressed being taken from their home, but then to be sat in a hot, busy pet show, full of children and dogs and being picked up, it is just cruel!
In an effort to not go on a year long rant here about rabbits and their welfare needs, and how unbelievably immoral this pet show is, I made a petition so I can show the event organisers that rabbits and guinea pigs, etc., do not belong in a pet show!

I don't have much of a social media presence and only two friends, so I don't really reach many people! If you have any advice on how to better promote it or lay out the information in the petition, I'm all ears, though please be aware I am physically disabled so cannot go out campaigning and such.
Thank you in advance!!
