Require a mandatory licence to own pets.

Pets are thoughtlessly bought on impulse without any efforts of learning the specific care that animal needs to ensure physical, mental and physiological health. Examples such as hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits are usually kept in enclosures too small and cause boredom, stress and depression, not given enough access to the outside and areas to exercise and play safely with fresh air, and health issues go unnoticed due to a lack of interaction.
