The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because we are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
The Animal Welfare Act 2006 makes it a criminal offence to cause unnecessary suffering to an animal. This would include the types of abandonment you talk about in your petition.

You could start a new petition if you would like the law to be changed in a specific way.
