Ban the sale of rabbits in pet stores they should be rescue only like cats and dogs , there’s so much suffering and cruelty as people can buy them on a whim and no nothing about how to keep them . They are sentient creatures that shouldn’t be allowed to be caged at the end of the garden we are a modern animal loving country and should set higher standards for these poor bunny’s

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the welfare of rabbits, but it's not clear if you just want the Government to ban the sale of rabbits, or if you also want the Government to impose new requirements on owners of rabbits.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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