Stop animals being sold on Gumtree.
Please stop animals being sold on Gumtree, it is an open door for folk that shouldn't own then. I have come across instances, where the dogs have been sold on for a much higher price. Also sadly with Dog fighting, whose to say they are not being used as bait dog's :(.
Please put a stop to it.
My newly rescued Airedale Terrier was advertised on the French equivalent of Gumtree, I have photo's of the add, along with photos from him being collected. He was in an awful state, ungroomed & so hyper & stressed out.
I have also seen these adds on my Facebook groups. I know my boy was in France. But you see these adds on Gumtree, so many times. I have seen folk post the original add, then another of the same dog being sold on for much more money!!!.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The decision about whether to sell pets or not is a matter for Gumtree, which is a private company.
You could try contacting Gumtree directly to ask them to change their policy.
Alternatively, you could start a petition asking Parliament to pass a law restricting the sale of animals on the internet.
