This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you would like the online buying of pets to only be allowed through local councils, however while local councils issue breeding licenses they do not play a role in the sale of animals, so it's not clear what it is you would like the Government to do.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to ban the sale of pets online, if that is something you'd like to happen.

You may also like to sign this petition which calls for a related action:

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
