Rejected petition Stop Gumtree advertising free animals

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The decision about whether to host adverts for free animals is a matter for Gumtree, which is a private company.

You could try contacting Gumtree directly to ask them to change their policy.

Alternatively, you could start a petition asking Parliament to pass a law restricting the sale or giving away of animals on the internet. You'll need to give your full name to start a petition.

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