See why other supporters are signing, why this petition is important to them, and share your reason for signing (this will mean a lot to the starter of the petition).
To take away a persons dignity by depriving them of the means to purchase food and a safe place to sleep is inhumane. For those who already feel rejected by family and friends, this cruel treatment can drive a person to despair. The council members who intend to pursue this order to victimise homeless people before going home to their warm houses with nutritious food on the table and comfy beds to sleep in should perhaps try sleeping rough for a few nights and experience the misery they are exacerbating before making a final decision !
Homeless people are one of the largest groups in society who fall through the cracks, and it seems like some people think the problem will go away if they just shove it to the side or pretend the homeless aren't human
SHAME ON ALL OF THEM!!!!
