Petition Amend animal welfare act to ban the practice of giving away animals as prizes.

Calling upon the ban of ALL animals given as prizes to any age not just under the age of 16.
The Animal Welfare Act 2006 in England and Wales makes it an offence to give away an animal as a prize if the person can reasonably be believed to be under 16 and is not accompanied by an adult.

More details

This is not the case in Scotland, where under the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006, it is an offence to offer or give an animal to another person as a prize (whatever their age), except where it is offered in a family context.
