Change the law on buying and selling pets
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The law is to lenient on who can buy and sell pets, I want the government to introduce strict licence rules on who can breed and sell puppies, and I also believe there should be an offenders register for those who are convicted on animal cruelty to stop them buying again, that sellers can check.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about people buying and selling pets, but we're not sure exactly how you'd like the law to change.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
