Ban the sale of animals on selling sites
Ban selling sites from publishing adverts for animals for sale
Due to the massive increase in stolen pets , thieves turn to online sites to sell them . I , amongst others , believe that by removing their online outlet , it would decrease the amount of pets stolen . Many pets sold through Gumtree , Preloved and other sites , fall into the hands of abusers and dog fighters , and suffer horrendous cruelty at the hands of these abusers . Also to be considered is the emotional trauma caused to the owners of these beloved stolen pets .
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 how pets are sold, but it's not clear if you want the sale of animals online to be prevented, or all online advertisement of pets for sale to be banned.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
