Prevent dogs from being a target of theft by capping their sale price

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Bring in a legal limit on the amount (£) a dog or other domestic animals can be bought/sold for.

Recently there has been a surge in dog thefts, causing extreme distress to both owners and dogs. Capping the price of sale would hopefully make them less of a target, and at the same time, less tempting to over breed.
Yes, breeders may lose out on their increased income, but it’s now coming at too high of a price; in terms of emotional toll.
It’s also all too tempting to over breed a female dog for more pups.
The prices have soared in the past few years, bringing them back down is now crucial.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We understand you want to limit the price that puppies are sold for, however this is a private matter between the breeder and the buyer. You could start a petition calling for increased regulation of the sale of puppies if that is something you'd like to happen.
