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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about animal welfare, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
We could accept a petition calling for the sale of animals to be prohibited during national lockdowns, if that's what you want to happen.
