It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The decision about whether to sell pets or not is a matter for Gumtree, which is a private company.
You could try contacting Gumtree directly to ask them to change their policy.
Alternatively, you could start a petition asking Parliament to pass a law restricting the sale of animals on the internet.
