Rejected petition Stop animals being sold online on shopping websites.
Many animals mainly dogs are being sold on shopping sites like Shpock and Gumtree and have often been abused and neglected.
More details
Searching through Shpock you can immediately see hundreds of dogs for sale with many not looking in a well-nourished condition and with no checks on sellers and buyers there is no one to ensure these animals are being looking after legally.
