Ban selling animals on Facebook.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop selling animals on Facebook, and selling sites. There are enough animals in rescue centres needing homes without people making a business out of breading. They end up in the wrong hands and can be used for dog fighting or worse if ending up in the wrong hands.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Restrict the sale of animals on the Internet.
