Rejected petition To Stop the Sale of All Animals in Pet Shops * allow trained/educated sellers
We would like to stop the sale of all Animals in all Pets shops, inc big brand pet shops. The shops do not have trained/educated staff to help the buyers with care that each animal needs.
The staff are not trained on the care of each animal and do not have enough knowledge to help a buyer.

When visiting a local Jolly's shop, there was 1 chicken was for sale, (happens alot) i asked to purchase the chicken & was informed that she was not for sale, as she is going back to be put down, i asked why they stated she is making funny noises, i than stated Chickens do make funny noises. The untrained staff that are feeding them the wrong food, are taking in to there hands to kill animals due to lack of training, i was informed loads go back all the time.
