Ban sale of pets online

Closed 145 signatures

What the petition asks

No pets to be Sold online -the protection of animals and their welfare should be paramount as there are too many instances of stolen and puppy farmed dogs and other pets being sold online - this could result in animals being used as bait animals and tortured - this needs stopping now.
Animal protection is so important. There are too many instances of puppy farming and mistreatment of pets. The U.K. should lead the world in helping to prevent cruelty to animals. Ideally pets should be licensed and sellers should meet requirements as being reputable.
