Closed petition Ban the import of multiple dogs and puppies

Closed on 1 April 2022

Importation of multiple dogs and puppies should be banned in full, only single dogs or puppies should be allowed. Importers should be required to place the dog in a recognised kennel or rescue for a limited period. This should apply to all imports, including from Europe and Ireland with no exception

Puppy farming is causing immense problems, with some pups not living more than a few weeks after being sold, there are "industrial" sized puppy farms with dog smugglers getting thousands of pups into the country illegally. People are buying pups for a lot of money only to have them die for various reasons.
By allowing only one dog/pup to be imported it surely would not be worth the smugglers time but would still allow people to bring in a dog/puppy, it could also be easier for customs.
